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 …

Aeolian processes involve the wind action on a sedimentary substrate, namely erosion,
sand transport and deposition. They are responsible for the emergence of aeolian dunes …

The purpose of develo** an integrated wind-erosion modelling system (IWEMS) is to
produce quantitative predictions of wind erosion on scales from local to global. The system …

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 …

Soil moisture is a critical component of the earth system and plays an integrative role among
the various subfields of physical geography. This paper highlights not just how soil moisture …

Despite widespread recognition that landforms are complex Earth systems with process-
response linkages that span temporal scales from seconds to millennia and spatial scales …

Through the 1980s and 1990s studies of the geomorphology of desert sand dunes were
dominated by field studies of wind flow and sand flow over individual dunes. Alongside …

Sediment transport is studied as a function of the grain to fluid density ratio using two phase
numerical simulations based on a discrete element method for particles coupled to a …

Repeat observations underpin our understanding of environmental processes, but financial
constraints often limit scientists' ability to deploy dense networks of conventional commercial …

The nearshore region exhibits many striking morphological patterns with a variety of spatial
and temporal scales. The formation of these rhythmic features has been initially ascribed …
