Jayne Belnap is a Research Ecologist at the U.S. Geological Survey with a research focus of the biological crusts that hold in place desert dust and their ecological impact on human activities. Excerpt “We just need to start putting dust into the equation.”
Also of potential interest: Human impact on the environment 99.181.147.68 ( talk) 04:26, 4 January 2012 (UTC)
I removed this dubious and unreferenced claim from the article:
At least in modern developed countries, the general response to running out of fresh water is to build desalination plants. This increases water costs, but these are a very small part of the economy; long-term droughts do not lead to civilizational collapse. Certainly they can contribute to instability in developing countries. -- Beland ( talk) 18:14, 30 March 2014 (UTC)
