This book provides a comprehensive summary of the recent developments in wind erosion research and a clear outline of its future directions. The physics of wind erosion, from particle entrainment to transport and deposition, is described with rigor from the viewpoints of fluid dynamics and soil physics. The techniques for quantitative wind-erosion ...
Since 1985, the University of Hohenheim, Germany, in collaboration with the ICRISAT Sahelian Center, Niger, has pursued the development of improved agricultural systems for smallholder farmers in the fragile agricultural ecosystem of the West African Sahel. Wind erosion is one of the constraints that limits crop production in the region and was ...
Studies of aeolian sediments, both ancient and modern, have exhibited a number of important conceptual advances in recent years. In particular, there has been a move away from descriptions of sediments, bedforms and sedimentary environments towards a new emphasis on the dynamics of aeolian depositional systems at different temporal and spatial ...
These two volumes contain a collection of selected papers on a wide range of aspects of natural transport and re-sorting of sand and soil. Apart from one paper on avalanche and a small number in which sea waves are also an agent, the papers all deal exclusively with wind erosion. One paper reviews in depth the contributions to the literature of ...
