Climatic or regionally induced by humans? Tracing hydro-climatic and land-use changes to better understand the Lake Urmia tragedy
Lake Urmia—a shallow endemic hypersaline lake in northwest Iran—has undergone a
dramatic decline in its water level (WL), by about 8 m, since 1995. The primary cause of the …
