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 …

Predicting the morphodynamics of sedimentary landscapes due to fluvial and aeolian flows
requires answering the following questions: Is the flow strong enough to initiate sediment …

Ideal for both undergraduate and graduate students in the fields of geography, forestry,
ecology, geographic information science, remote sensing, and photogrammetric …

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 …

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 …

Sand dunes are one of the most abundant aeolian landforms and play an important role in
understanding how aeolian environments evolve. Since the 1970s, remote sensing has …

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 …

Subaqueous and aeolian bedforms are ubiquitous on Earth and other planetary
environments. However, it is still unclear which hydrodynamic mechanisms lead to the …

Wind-blown sand creates multiscale bedforms on Earth, Mars and other planetary bodies.
According to conventional wisdom, decametre-scale dunes and decimetre-scale ripples …
