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 …

Basically, sand dunes are patterns resulting from the coupling of hydrodynamic and
sediment transport. Once grains move, they modify the surface topography which in turns …

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 …

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 …

Symmetry-breaking transitions associated with the buckling and folding of curved
multilayered surfaces—which are common to a wide range of systems and processes such …

Earth's sand seas (dune fields) experience winds that blow with different strengths and from
different directions in line with the seasons. In response, dune fields show a rich variety of …

Based on four decades of research by Professor Andrew Goudie, this volume provides a
state-of-the-art synthesis of our understanding of desert geomorphology. It presents a truly …

Sand dunes in arid regions are conspicuous mobile landforms that require adaptation and
mitigation strategies to protect human infrastructure and economic assets from …

Coastal landscape change represents aggregated sediment transport gradients from
spatially and temporally variable marine and aeolian forces. Numerous tools exist that …

Wind controls the formation and development of aeolian dunes, therefore understanding the
wind environment is necessary in aeolian dune research. In recent years, climate has …
