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 …

This review article presents recent advances in the field of biogeomorphology related to the
reciprocal coupling between Earth surface processes and landforms, and ecological and …

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 …

For more than four decades remote sensing images have been used to document and
understand the evolution of aeolian sand dunes. Early studies focused on mapping 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 …

Dune systems can have alternative stable states that coexist under certain environmental
conditions: a vegetated, stabilized state and a bare active state. This behavior implies the …

This paper examines the evolutionary paths of some transgressive dune fields that have
formed on different coasts of the world, and presents some initial conceptual models of …

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 …

Various studies have detailed the evolution of barchan dunes to parabolic dunes and a very
few studies describe the evolution of coastal transgressive dunefields and continental sand …

Coastal dunes form in many parts of the world the first flood defense line against the sea. To
study effects of climate change on coastal dune evolution, we used a cellular model of dune …
