Causes and effects of sand and dust storms: What has past research taught us? A survey
Barren ground and sites with low coverage by vegetation (eg, dunes, soil surfaces, dry
lakes, and riverbeds) are the main source areas of sand and dust storms (SDS). The …

On the formation of desert loess
N Lancaster - Quaternary Research, 2020 - cambridge.org
Sequences of quartz-rich coarse (20− 63 μm) silt occur in many low-and midlatitude
unglaciated arid and semiarid areas and have been termed “desert loess.” The processes …

Grain-size variability of point-bar deposits from a fine-grained dryland river terminus, Southern Altiplano, Bolivia
Point-bar deposits exhibiting fining-upward grain-size trends are widely documented from
both modern rivers and ancient preserved successions. However, in some mud-dominated …
