The Anthropocene is a major new concept in the Earth sciences and this book examines the
effects on geomorphology within this period. Drawing examples from many different global …

Foredunes are efficient natural coastal defenses acting as protective barriers during storm
events. They also have the capacity to be an ecosystem hosting significant biodiversity. The …

Observations from map** since the 19th century and aerial imagery since 1930 have
been used to study changes in the aeolian geomorphology of coastal parabolic dunes over …

The impacts of urbanised zones on aeolian dynamics are little understood, particularly
within arid areas. This study examines the large-scale influence of a growing tourist resort in …

Dunes in temperate latitudes have experienced a significant stabilization in recent times,
essentially as a consequence of the expansion of dense vegetation cover. Yet, the causes …

Visual impacts belong to the most common concerns about wind energy development
projects in Europe. In methodological terms, visual impact assessments are lacking in …

The vast majority of coastal dunes in Europe have been stabilized by increasing vegetation
cover since the mid‐20th century. However, some systems may experience a remobilization …

Fire is commonly listed as a contributing disturbance to dune re-activation. This paper aims
to characterise post-fire disturbance to vegetation and soil surface, and aeolian activity on …

Abstract [eng] One of the unique places in Europe in both environmental and cultural terms
is the Curonian Spit-a massive sandy barrier separating the Curonian Lagoon from the …

Dune activity or stability has usually been studied over long time periods; however, this may
not reflect changes that occur in the short term, especially for highly active dunefields …
