Description:
With a persistent drought gripping parts of the Southwest since 1996, researchers have documented noticeable changes in the sand dunes where Navajos have eked out an austere living for generations. The dunes are growing fast and starting to move as the regional climate changes, according U.S. Geological Survey geologist Dr. Margaret Hiza Redsteer, whose interviews with elders and historical research augment her decade-long research on Navajo Nation land.
