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 …

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 rock mass along the **sha River is relatively broken under complex geological action.
Many ancient landslides were distributed along the **sha River in Gongjue County, which …

Desertification seriously hinders economic development and ecological security, which has
led to increased research on desertification monitoring and control. Remote sensing …

The morphology of isolated barchan dunes on Mars and Earth may shed light on the
dynamic conditions that form them, their migration direction and the physical properties of …

Barchan dunes do not often coexist with grasslands. However, in Gonghe Basin, north‐
eastern part in Qinghai‐Tibetan Plateau (QTP), China, many barchan dunes are distributed …

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 …

Digital image correlation (DIC) is a commonly-adopted technique in geoscience and natural
hazard studies to measure the surface deformation of various geophysical phenomena. In …

In the absence of consistent meteorological data on Mars, the morphology of dunes can be
employed to study its atmosphere. Specifically, barchan dunes, which form under …

Sand dune migration poses a potential threat to desert infrastructure, vegetation, and
atmospheric conditions. Capturing the patterns of long-term dune migration is useful for …
