Particular attention is paid to their formation and appearance elsewhere in the solar system. New developments in knowledge about dunes make for an interesting story – like the dunes themselves, dune science is dynamic – and the visual appeal of Aeolian geomorphology ensures that this is an attractive volume. .The book is divided into 4 parts, the first of which introduces dunes as a planetary phenomenon, showing a landscape reflecting the balance of geological processes – volcanism, impact, tectonics, erosion, deposition of sediments. Dunes are then considered as emergent dynamical systems: the interaction of sand and wind conspires to generate very characteristic and reproducible shapes. Analogies are given with other emergent structures such as patterned ground before the influence of dunes on desert peoples and infrastructure is studied, together with their use as forensic climatological indicators..Dune Physics is looked at with regard to the mechanics of sand, the physics of wind, saltation – interaction of sand and air – dunes versus ripples and tran | | 出版日期 | Book 2014 | | 关键词 | Dune landscapes; Mars; Remote sensing; Sand transport; Titan | | 版次 | 1 | | doi | https://doi.org/10.1007/978-3-540-89725-5 | | isbn_softcover | 978-3-662-50228-0 | | isbn_ebook | 978-3-540-89725-5 | | copyright | Springer-Verlag Berlin Heidelberg 2014 |
