[HTML][HTML] Complementary classifications of aeolian dunes based on morphology, dynamics, and fluid mechanics

SC Du Pont, DM Rubin, C Narteau, MGA Lapôtre… - Earth-Science …, 2024 - Elsevier
Dunes form where winds blow over a bed of mobile sediment grains–conditions that are
common in our solar system. On Earth, dunes abound in arid continental interiors and along …

[HTML][HTML] A new workflow for mapping dune features (outline, crestline and defects) combining deep learning and skeletonization from DEM-derived data

J Daynac, P Bessin, S Pochat, R Mourgues… - Geomorphology, 2024 - Elsevier
Dune morphology, dynamics, and spatial arrangement mainly depend on the characteristics
of the moving fluid (eg wind regime) and of the sediment supply (eg grain size) modulated …

Spatial patterns of dune landscapes manifest the history of boundary condition changes

M Zhu, D Zhang, P Liang, X Yang - Earth and Planetary Science Letters, 2025 - Elsevier
Dune fields are self-organized systems shaped by nonlinear and dissipative boundary
conditions. Decoding their environmental history and linking the spatial and temporal …

[HTML][HTML] From lab to landscape-scale experiments for the morphodynamics of sand dunes

P Claudin, SC Du Pont… - Comptes …, 2024 - comptes-rendus.academie-sciences …
Nous passons en revue les principaux processus qui déterminent la morphodynamique des
dunes, c'est-à-dire leur croissance en hauteur, leur migration et leur élongation, et nous …

Barchan swarm dynamics from a Two-Flank Agent-Based Model

DT Robson, ACW Baas - Earth Surface Dynamics, 2024 - esurf.copernicus.org
In this work, we simulate barchan swarms using the Two-Flank Agent-Based Model and
investigate how changes to model parameters and environmental drivers lead to different …

[PDF][PDF] Segmentation of Dune Crestlines Using Convolutional Neural Networks

TCC Lui, C Marvin, M Lapôtre, J Caers - cs231n.stanford.edu
We use convolutional neural networks to segment dune crestlines across 5 Marian dune
fields. Automating this tedious digitization process can save a lot of time and effort, and can …
