The text covers the topics of deserts and coastlines, as well as periglacial and planetary landforms. The authors review the range of aeolian characteristics that include soil erosion and its consequences, continental scale dust storms, sand dunes and loess. \u003ci\u003eAeolian Geomorphology \u003c/i\u003eexplores the importance of aeolian processes in the past, and the application of knowledge about aeolian geomorphology in environmental management.\u003c/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eThe new edition includes contributions from eighteen experts from four continents. All the chapters demonstrate huge advances in observation, measurement and mathematical modelling. For example, the chapter on sand seas shows the impact of greatly enhanced and accessible remote sensing and the chapter on active dunes clearly demonstrates the impact of improvements in field techniques. Other examples reveal the power of greatly improved laboratory techniques.
