Scientists recently discovered that malnutrition and dry hot living conditions are linked to stunted growth in Mali, West Africa. USGS research found that Mali was becoming substantially warmer and a little bit drier. Scientists also knew that farmers and those who make a living raising sheep, cattle, goats, or camels were poor, and that stunted growth was occurring throughout Mali. USGS research is helping to identify the impacts of a changing climate on Africa's people.
