Why is sand a powerful natural resource? Dr Laura Schoenberger
Ask the Geographer - A podcast by Royal Geographical Society (with IBG) Schools
Categories:
In this podcast, we meet with Laura Schoenberger, we explore how, in countries such as Cambodia, sand mining is contributing to the erosion of estuaries, collapse of riverbanks. Sand is not a renewable resource within human timescales, so what does this mean for our environment and the countries that will suffer the most insecurity as a result of its loss.
