Description

Aeolian geomorphology is the study of how the wind shapes our landscapes. This book covers the full range of aeolian processes from soil erosion to sand dunes and loess formation. It starts with a general overview of aeolian geomorphology and sedimentology, including an historical analysis of the main trends and the development of ideas over the last 60 years. Further chapters discuss case studies in detail including the wind erosion of agricultural land and the dating of aeolian sediments. The final chapter looks to the future discussing new techniques and methodologies and makes suggestions about the way in which aeolian research should be organised and conducted in the future.
