The scientific study of deserts, their ecology, climate, organisms, and characteristics.
From Greek 'eremo-' (desert) combined with '-logy' (study or discourse from 'logos,' meaning word or reason). This is a technical term in ecology and geography.
Eremology is a relatively young science that exploded in importance during the 20th century as deserts began covering more of Earth due to climate change and human activity—what seemed like a marginal environment became critical to understanding our planet's future.
