Dust storms are natural events that remove and relocate surface soil, damage vegetation crops, disrupt many other aspects of the earth’s terrestrial ecosystem. Accordingly, risk assessment dust storm hazards is crucial. Risk equations (e.g., flooding) have been developed. However, vulnerability modeling for very limited. mapping based on identifying priority areas great help to planners. This study provides a conceptual model Structural Equation Modeling Finite Mixture Partial Least Squares (FIMIX-PLS) approach using interviews questions in Ahvaz County, Khuzestan province, Iran. Key drivers included Resilience Actions, Natural-Physical effects, Economic Influence, Social Influence. The Aerosol Optical Depth (AOD) product Modis/Terra was used develop hazard map. performance evaluated observed PM10 data from County air pollution monitoring stations. Land use spatial detection agricultural land affected by intensity AOD map previous step. fitting results showed had acceptable validity (SRMR = 0.013). Results approximately 25% lands at high risk. Based results, natural-physical variables affect about 89% 97% social economic drivers, respectively. Conversely, influences significantly negatively resilience resulting vulnerability. integrated model, strengthening farmers' strategies against requires additional research attention.

Montenegro has different influences on the weather and climate; in general, according to Köppen’s classification, there are two climate zones: warm temperate (C) cold (D). The aim of this study is determine susceptibility wildfires Montenegrin coastal municipality Budva northern Rožaje, which located climatic conditions, using multicriteria GIS decision analysis (GIS-MCDA). Nine natural anthropogenic criteria were used for analysis. Open geospatial data as input all criteria. assignment weighting coefficients relation wildfire importance was based Analytic Hierarchy Process (AHP) Fuzzy (F-AHP) procedures. results AHP F-AHP models obtained Weighted Linear Combination (WLC) method. According model, very high category covers 80.93% total area 80.65% Rožaje. occupies 80.71% 82.30% validation shows that GIS-MCDA perform fair both zones. proposed models, especially absence data, can be a strategic operational advantage development plans strategies protection against wildfires.

Sand and dust storms (SDS) pose a wide range of hazards to human society, affecting people in drylands beyond. This paper, based on wide-ranging review the scientific grey literature, presents, for first time, comprehensive synthesis mitigation adaptation interventions designed manage risks involved thus build resilience these SDS line with Sendai Framework Disaster Risk Reduction 2015–2030 (Sendai Framework) Sustainable Development Goals. It highlights case studies good practice examples measures available reduce impacts associated beyond source areas. These measures, which are interrelated complementary, summarized under education initiatives (for schools, specific sectors vulnerable groups), risk/impact assessments (involving information hazard, exposure vulnerability), vulnerability assessment/mapping, integrated monitoring early warning (using World Meteorological Organization’s Dust Storm Warning Advisory Assessment System, or SDS-WAS) emergency response risk reduction plans (including contingency planning). Many developed other hazards, but not SDS. Data availability is an important issue this regard, example Kuwait illustrates that even relatively understanding SDS, many aspects impact remain poorly understood. Developing appropriate responses matter some urgency given climate change projections indicate more frequent intense emissions due increased aridity worsening drought conditions (frequency, severity duration).

Information and communication technology (ICT) development has changed human activity behavior, including spatial choices for space. This phenomenon contributed to disaster risk reduction because similar dependent variables related space place were represented in land use. In disasters, use can affect the level. study explored contribution correlation patterns of ICT efforts from a perspective. used 12,155 articles Scopus database as data analyzed using systematic review meta-analysis. found that had possibility indirectly through virtual two forms: location efficiency changes its changing vulnerability, hazard, capacity face disasters.

Dust storms are frequent meteorological phenomena in the arid and semi-arid regions of Khuzestan province (KHP) southwest Iran. These result significant social economic repercussions that extend beyond mere climatic disturbances. Over past decade, they have become primary cause substantial environmental socio-economic damage region. In this study, we aim to assess impacts sand/dust (SDSs) on human health, agriculture (specifically Estamran dates), migration KHP. Our findings reveal following consequences: Respiratory diseases incurred a financial loss approximately USD 14 million, with more than 450 individuals requiring hospitalization at cost exceeding 0.04 million between April July 2022. addition, cardiovascular related SDSs resulted costs 1.9 within same time frame. Cities near sources dust experienced cumulative 6.8 million. The local population these cities also suffered adverse effects compared those farther from influence We further evaluated impact quality dates by analyzing 20 samples key date production areas KHP, including Ahvaz, Abadan, Khorramshahr, Shadegan. damages (COD) sector was estimated around 18.3 Shadegan bearing brunt 8.3 an important due deterioration living conditions total, three sectors amounted about 39 This is particularly concerning considering contributed 14.8% Iran’s Gross Domestic Product (GDP) 2020, representing 50% output southwestern provinces.

Understanding aeolian sediment transport and wind erosion enhances our knowledge of desert dune formation sand migration. The Makran region southern Sistan Baluchistan is prone to wind-driven alongside frequent dust storms (SDSs). Hourly data from two meteorological stations spanning 1994–2020 were analyzed study erosive winds transport. Wind energy analysis using drift potential (DP) indicated low (DP < 200 in vector unit) minimal spatial variation across the fields. effective transporting particles towards east November May, northwestern direction June October. DP showed a gradual decline area 1990 2022, with no significant temporal trends. morphology indicates that bimodal regimes primarily form linear dunes sheets, while crescentic, transverse, topographic are also present.
