Description
Zhao and four co-authors published a 2026 PLOS ONE study on tracking desert spread on the Qinghai-Tibetan Plateau. They combined two satellite signals: surface albedo, how bright the ground is, and a glow from plants that shows how green they are. Watching both over time maps where land is turning to desert. The plateau feeds major Asian rivers, so its land health matters far beyond its borders.
