Title: Landscapes of sandy areas along a rainfall gradient of 90-450 mm average rainfall
Aaron Yair has completed undergraduate studies (Geography) at the University of Paris (Sorbonne). Graduate and PhD studies (Geomorphology) at the Hebrew University of Jerusalem (Summa cum laude). He is mainly interested in the study of geomorphic processes in arid and semi-arid environments. His studies cover the three prevailing landscapes in dry-land areas: rocky areas; sandy areas and loess covered areas. In 1972, he established the long-term Sede Boqer Research Station, characteristic of an arid rocky area. In 1999, he established (in the frame of the Minerva Organization, the Arid Ecosystems Research Centre, in the Nizzana area. This site represents a sandy ecosystem. The studies were conducted along a rainfall gradient from 90-450 average annual rainfall, focusing on the hydrology and ecology of the various sandy areas. Finally, the studies of the loess covered areas, focused on the hydrological and pedological aspects, in an area with 280 mm average annual rainfall.
He received the following awards:
