The physics of wind-blown sand and dust
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 …

Scale-dependent perspectives on the geomorphology and evolution of beach-dune systems
Despite widespread recognition that landforms are complex Earth systems with process-
response linkages that span temporal scales from seconds to millennia and spatial scales …

Vegetation controls on the maximum size of coastal dunes
Coastal dunes, in particular foredunes, support a resilient ecosystem and reduce coastal
vulnerability to storms. In contrast to dry desert dunes, coastal dunes arise from interactions …

Biophysical feedback mediates effects of invasive grasses on coastal dune shape
Vegetation at the aquatic–terrestrial interface can alter landscape features through its growth
and interactions with sediment and fluids. Even similar species may impart different effects …

Sediment patterns near a model patch of reedy emergent vegetation
This laboratory study describes the sediment patterns formed in a sand bed around circular
patches of rigid vertical cylinders, representing a patch of reedy emergent vegetation. The …
