Algiers, the capital of Algeria, is a base for studying Saharan ecology because the Sahara covers much of the country’s south. Research in this field deals with desert ecosystems, drought adaptation, desertification, and the management of scarce water resources.
Algeria has real academic infrastructure for this work. The Higher National Agronomic School, or ENSA, in El Harrach near Algiers was founded in 1905 and trains agricultural engineers, with research in areas including sustainable agriculture and environment. The University of Constantine 1 also has ecology and environment programs within its natural sciences departments.
Saharan ecology research typically combines field surveys in desert regions with remote sensing and climate data analysis. Students should check laboratory facilities and field logistics with the institution.
Related desert study includes Sahara desert ecology in Mauritania, a desert ecology research degree in Namibia, and Sahel desertification studies in Mali.
