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 …

An erodible bed sheared by a fluid flow, gas or liquid, is generally unstable, and bed forms
grow. This review discusses the following issues, in light of the recent literature: What are the …

This study examines 130 case examples from 60 desert regions to propose a generalised
framework to account for the diverse types of interaction known to exist between active …

Quartz sand dominates aeolian deposits in arid regions, as dust-sized particles are carried
out of the desert entirely or are trapped by vegetation or rough surfaces on desert margins …

Depending on the wind regime,, sand dunes exhibit linear,, crescent-shaped or star-like
forms resulting from the interaction between dune morphology and sand transport,,. Small …

Barchan dunes—crescent-shaped dunes that form in areas of unidirectional winds and low
sand availability—commonly display an asymmetric shape, with one limb extended …

This study utilizes instruments from the Curiosity rover payload to develop an integrated
paleoenvironmental and compositional reconstruction for the 65‐m thick interval of …

Vegetation greatly affects the formation and dynamics of dune fields in coastal areas. In the
present work, we use dune modeling in order to investigate the genesis and early …

The study of dune morphology represents a valuable tool in the investigation of planetary
wind systems—the primary factor controlling the dune shape is the wind directionality …

Barchans are dunes of high mobility which have a crescent shape and propagate under
conditions of unidirectional wind. However, sand dunes only appear above a critical size …
