The mobility of coastal dunes is characterised by bio-geomorphological responses related to
change in boundary conditions, particularly sediment supply, wind and vegetation cover, as …

Identifying provenance of aeolian deposits in the mid-latitude deserts of Asia is essential for
understanding formation and changes of Earth surface processes due to palaeoclimatic …

This third edition of Reconstructing Quaternary Environments has been completely revised
and updated to provide a new account of the history and scale of environmental changes …

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 …

We trace compositional changes of Nile sediments for 7400 km, from their sources in
equatorial rift highlands of Burundi and Rwanda to their sink in the Mediterranean Sea. All …

In September 2016, the annual meeting of the International Union for Quaternary Research's
Loess and Pedostratigraphy Focus Group, traditionally referred to as a LoessFest, met in …

We here present the first comprehensive provenance study of the Sahara Desert using a
combination of multiple provenance proxies and state-of-the-art statistical analysis. Our …

The timing and extent of palaeoenvironmental connections between northeast Africa, the
Levant and the Arabian Peninsula during the Middle and Late Pleistocene are critical to …

Sediment provenance is a key issue in understanding the aeolian system of the Taklamakan
Desert, an important source of global dust and the largest sand sea in the midlatitudes …

Coastal dunes, formed and shaped by aeolian sediment transport, play a crucial role in
ecosystem services and act as natural flood and coastal erosion defenses. This paper …
