Early‐stage aeolian protodunes: Bedform development and sand transport dynamics
Sign Up to like & getrecommendations! Published in 2018 at "Earth Surface Processes and Landforms"
DOI: 10.1002/esp.4242
Abstract: Early-stage aeolian bedforms, or protodunes, are elemental in the continuum of dune development and act as essential precursors to mature dunes. Despite this, we know very little about the processes and feedback mechanisms that shape… read more here.

DOI: 10.1016/j.catena.2020.104945
Abstract: Abstract Some of the surface on Earth, Mars, Venus, and Titan is covered by ripples, dunes, and other features formed by sand-driving winds. Many developing countries in arid and semiarid areas are caught in a… read more here.

DOI: 10.1038/s41467-021-26985-3
Abstract: Aeolian sand transport is a major process shaping landscapes on Earth and on diverse celestial bodies. Conditions favoring bimodal sand transport, with fine-grain saltation driving coarse-grain reptation, give rise to the evolution of megaripples with… read more here.

DOI: 10.3390/jmse6040138
Abstract: Aeolian sediment transport on beaches is responsible for dune growth and/or recovery. Models predicting potential aeolian sediment transport rates often overpredict the amount of deposition on the foredune when applied to narrow (years) in order… read more here.
