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 …

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 …

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 …

Extensive evidence of landform-scale martian geomorphic changes has been acquired in
the last decade, and the number and range of examples of surface activity have increased …

This book describes how sand dunes work, why they are the way they are in different
settings, and how they are being studied. Particular attention is paid to their formation and …

Remote sensing (RS) enables a cost-effective, extensive, continuous and standardized
monitoring of traits and trait variations of geomorphology and its processes, from the local to …

Aeolian dune fields have been described on Earth, Mars, Venus and Titan. The plethora of
data returned from recent planetary missions has enabled a new era in planetary …

Dunes with relatively long and parallel crests are classified as linear dunes. On Earth, they
form in at least two environmental settings: where winds of bimodal direction blow across …

The study of aeolian geomorphological systems over the last half century has advanced
along several important fronts, supported by developments in technologies and analytic …
