Deserts: Global Environments
Every continent has deserts – they occupy more area of the surface of our planet than any other type of landscape. They occur in all climatic zones including the hottest and coldest locations on Earth. This programme takes an in-depth look at deserts around the world, examining why they exist and the different climate drivers at work in their formation. Physical characteristics and processes occurring within them are explored. It also covers human life in deserts and the various ways in which people adapt to living in a dry environment, and human impact on fragile desert ecosystems. It features a range of imagery of different deserts around the world, and uses graphics to clearly explain some of the natural processes at work. An excellent resource for students of Geography, Environmental Studies and allied disciplines, this programme enhances learners’ understanding of one of the planet’s harshest environments.
