Predicting the morphodynamics of sedimentary landscapes due to fluvial and aeolian flows
requires answering the following questions: Is the flow strong enough to initiate sediment …

Aeolian processes involve the wind action on a sedimentary substrate, namely erosion,
sand transport and deposition. They are responsible for the emergence of aeolian dunes …

Sand, rice, sugar, snow, cement... Although ubiquitous in our daily lives, granular media still
challenge engineers and fascinate researchers. This book provides the state-of-the-art of the …

The purpose of developing an integrated wind-erosion modelling system (IWEMS) is to
produce quantitative predictions of wind erosion on scales from local to global. The system …

The blowing of sand by wind, known as saltation, ejects dust aerosols into the atmosphere,
creates sand dunes, and erodes geological features. We present a comprehensive …

Almost fifty years of investigations of barchan dunes morphology and dynamics is reviewed,
with emphasis on the physical understanding of these objects. The characteristic quantities …

Recent research literature on secondary airflow and sediment transport patterns over flow-
transverse dunes is reviewed. Various issues surrounding the behaviour, modelling and …

The transport of sand by wind results from the equilibrium between the erosion of grains
dragged by the flow and the resulting slow down of the wind velocity. The dynamical …

Five models for predicting rates of aeolian sand transport were evaluated using empirical
data obtained from field experiments conducted in April, 1994 at a beach on Inch Spit, Co …

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 …
