Two distinct processes are known to act on dynamic dunes, the process of migration by
erosion on the windward side and deposition on the lee side, typical for transverse dunes …

It has been over a decade since COSI-Corr, the Co-Registration of Optically Sensed Images
and Correlation, was first used to produce a raster map of sand dune movement, however …

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 …

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 …

Aeolian ripples are common in sandy environments on Earth and Mars. On Earth, ripples in
sorted dune sands typically are< 1 cm high and are erased in high winds. On Mars in similar …

A Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) model (PHOENICS™ 3.5) previously validated for
wind tunnel measurements is used to simulate the streamwise and vertical velocity flow …

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 …

Evidence from a field study on wind flow and sediment transport across a beach–dune
system under onshore and offshore conditions (including oblique approach angles) …

Significant studies of sand dunes and sand movement made in coastal southern Peru in
1959–1961 [Gay, SP, 1962. Origen, distribución y movimiento de las arenas eólicas en el …

The movement of active dunes is tightly linked to climatic conditions (eg, wind regime,
temperature and precipitation) as well as human influence (eg, grazing, dune fixation and …
