Desertification and Risk Analysis Using High and Medium Resolution Satellite Data Training Workshop on Mapping Desertification

This work becomes with methodological rigor a part of the innovative proposals for the characterization of the areas at risk of desertification. The complexity of the phenomenon of desertification, which involves extended surfaces in all continents, is one of the most alarming processes of the envir...
