The transport of sand and dust by wind is a potent erosional force, creates sand dunes and
ripples, and loads the atmosphere with suspended dust aerosols. This paper presents an …

This review article presents recent advances in the field of biogeomorphology related to the
reciprocal coupling between Earth surface processes and landforms, and ecological and …

Untitled Page 1 Page 2 GEOMORPHOLOGY OF DESERT DUNES Sand dunes cover up to a
quarter of many desert regions. Determining the factors that determine their shape, size and …

Geomorphological map** plays an essential role in understanding Earth surface
processes, geochronology, natural resources, natural hazards and landscape evolution. It …

One explanation for bedform patterns is self‐organization in which the pattern emerges
because of interactions among the bedforms themselves. Models, remote images, field …

This book describes how sand dunes work, why they are the way they are in different
settings, and how they are being studied. Particular attention is paid to their formation and …

Microtopography, consisting of small‐scale excursions in the elevation of the land surface
on millimeter to centimeter scales, is ubiquitous on hillslopes, but its effects are rarely …

In this study, wind flow is simulated via CFD over five 'nebkha'dune forms that range in
shape from a cone, to a hemisphere (approximately) and to a dome in order to examine the …

In the future, Earth will be warmer, precipitation events will be more extreme, global mean
sea level will rise, and many arid and semiarid regions will be drier. Human modifications of …

Evidence from a field study on wind flow and sediment transport across a beach–dune
system under onshore and offshore conditions (including oblique approach angles) …
