Natural dust is often associated with hot, subtropical deserts, but significant dust events have
been reported from cold, high latitudes. This review synthesizes current understanding of …

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

An extreme (weather or climate) event is generally defined as the occurrence of a value of a
weather or climate variable above (or below) a threshold value near the upper (or lower) …

The world's coastlines represent a myriad of dynamic and constantly changing
environments. Heavily settled and intensely used areas, they are of enormous importance to …

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 …

The response of a barrier island to an extreme storm depends in part on the surge elevation
relative to the height and extent of the foredunes which can exhibit considerable variability …

Temporal and spatial changes in wind speed, wind direction, and moisture content are
ubiquitous across sandy coastal beaches. Often these factors interact in unknown ways to …

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 …

Soil erosion controlled by the wind effect on the surface, has been largely studied by field in-
situ measurements as well as laboratory or numerical simulations. Nevertheless, more in …

Aeolian sediment transport is influenced by a variety of bed surface properties, like moisture,
shells, vegetation, and nonerodible elements. The bed surface properties influence aeolian …
