沙丘是全球重要的沉积地貌和沉积体系。它们的起源和动态对于了解沙漠如何应对气候变化和沙的供应和流动性变化以及它们将如何在未来继续演变非常重要。这本书提供了一个国家的最先进的审查沙漠沙丘及其沉积物的特点，并探讨其动态的时间尺度从几天到几千年，因为他们响应风速和风向的变化，降水和沙供应。这一广泛修订版反映了我们对沙漠沙丘，其动态和历史的理解的进展;并涵盖了最近的发展，包括发光测年革命，探地雷达和数值模拟的进展。也涵盖了火星和土卫六上的沙丘，这个权威的参考是一个必须有研究人员和研究生工作的沙漠沙丘和风成地貌。
Sand dunes are a globally important depositional landform and sedimentary system. Their origins and dynamics are important in understanding how deserts have evolved in response to climate change and changes in sand supply and mobility, and how they will continue to evolve in the future. This book provides a state-of-the-art review of the characteristics of desert dunes and their sediments, and explores their dynamics on timescales from days to millennia as they respond to changes in wind speed and direction, precipitation and sand supply. This extensively revised edition reflects the advances in our understanding of desert dunes, their dynamics and history; and covers recent developments including the luminescence dating revolution, ground penetrating radar and advances in numerical modeling. Also covering dunes on Mars and Titan, this authoritative reference is a must-have for researchers and graduate students working on desert dunes and aeolian geomorphology.
