Dust blowing from the beds of drying terminal lakes poses public health threats in many locations around the globe. This is one of the most serious threats we will be dealing with in the 21st century affecting not only human health but also long term security of natural resources and infrastructure. Here, at Hamburg University of Technology, we are developing novel tools aiming at utilizing engineering science and technology to face challenges brought upon by dust emission under increased climate variability. Recently, Prof. Shokri had an interview with Nate Seltenrich who covers science and the environment from the San Francisco Bay Area. The interview formed a part of Nate's recent Focus article "A Terminal Case? Shrinking Inland Seas Expose Salty Particulates and More" appeared in Environmental Health Perspectives which is published by the support from U.S. National Institute of Environmental Health Sciences.
