Dust storms in East Asia have been changing over the past few decades, and these changes affect air quality, health, and the environment. This study looked at how different climate-related factors—like wind, vegetation, soil moisture, and snow—impact the occurrence of dust storms in desert areas. Using long-term weather data and satellite images, we analyzed how dust from source regions changed over time. We used a computer model to understand which environmental changes had the most impact on dust emissions. Our findings show that dust activity varies by region and climate, and that recent changes are linked to both natural climate patterns and human-influenced land conditions. This research helps improve our understanding of how dust responds to climate, deepening our knowledge of dust–climate interactions.
