A new study from the USC Viterbi School of Engineering researchers, along with researchers from the Institute de Physique du Globe de Paris at the University of Paris Cité , has found that the increase in soil erosion in coastal areas due to desertification is worsening flood impacts on Middle Eastern and North African port cities.
The research was published almost a year after the deadly 2023 floods in the city of Derna , Libya , which took the lives of more than 11,300 people.
The authors say their work sheds light on the alarming vulnerability that arid areas face given the rising frequency of extreme weather events due to climate change.
The sequence of events that happened in Libya is one that can happen in many populous areas across North Africa and the Arabian Peninsula .
Storms are getting stronger, and cities are getting more populous and less organized in terms of policies to reduce development and increase disaster preparedness.
The deadliest enemy ahead is our belief that these extremes are punctual events that will not repeat.
