Greening the Sahara

In light of my last few blog entries, which have been a bit bleak, I'd like to offer a more positive story about the Middle East. I recently visited the Center for Remote Sensing at Boston University, where Dr. Farouk El-Baz is working to transform the Middle East in the best possible way -- making the deserts into arable land by using space-age technology to find ground water.

You can find my story on Nature.com, in its new Boston hub section.
