Resumo

Interest in the human impact on aeolian environments has developed since the nineteenth century and especially in recent
decades. One manifestation of this is the generation of dust storms as a result of surface erosion, especially in dry lands. Dust
storm frequencies have changed in response both to human pressures and to climatic change. Various methods have been
developed to control dust storm activity. Dunes have also been affected by a range of human activities, and their impact can be
traced back in some areas for some millennia. In coming decades, it is likely that both dust storm activity and dune movements
will change as a result of changes in moisture availability and wind energy.
