Sand and dust storms (SDS) are common in drylands with dust often transported over great distances, frequently across international boundaries. Such storms are...
The wheat belt along the Indo-Gangetic Plains (IGP) in India is an emergent hotspot of climate change-driven crop loss threatening local food security. Using statistical Generalized...
High crop yield variation between years—caused by extreme shocks on the food production system such as extreme weather—can have substantial effects on food production. This in turn...

Agricultural yields in Sub-Saharan Africa (SSA) are far below their potential.
We use a novel combination of crop modeling and survey data...
Production of cereals (maize, sorghum, millet) in southern Mali is challenged by several hazards that affect yield and yield variability. The research aims to inform decision making towards...
