What are the primary causes of the increased frequency and severity of dust storms in the Central Valley, and how do these factors interact?

The increase in dust storms is a self-perpetuating cycle: degraded land leads to more dust, which further degrades the land. This is impacting five major regions, causing health problems like the surge in Valley fever cases (12,637 in 2024, a record high) and economic losses from events like the 1977 Kern County storm causing $34 million in damages.
