Terraforming the Desert Part 2: Exclusive Webinar this Thursday

Published: Mon, 10/31/16

Hey Folks,
On Thursday I'm going to share with you
the culmination of my work
over the past 6 years...

The science and practice of
Terraforming.

I'm excited to share this with you all, because the design systems we're using in Saudi Arabia could lead to the regeneration of
90 million acres of desert...

    It may seem like a Herculean task, but  the same regeneration practices we're using in Saudia Arabia could work in drylands across the world.

    I'm going to go in depth on the interplay between hydrology, mineral cycles, vegetation, and economics in the desert.  

    I'm also introducing some concepts that helped me understand
the potential of the system I've been working on for the past 6 years, such as:

-Harnessing macrocycles 
-Fractal geographies
-Being in a closed loop watershed vs a hydrological corridor
-Tree vs. grass systems
-Dessication theory
-Selecting "anchor crops"

​​​​​​​...and a lot more.
 
Hope to see you all there!

-Neal Spackman
