| Abstract

:
|
This book brings together many of the leading names in desert gemorphology, and presents a comprehensive account of current research into aeolian processesin desert environments, including field and laboratory methods a remote sensing and radar techniques. Particular emphasis is placed on recent work in the Mojave and Sonoran deserts of North America. However, the book is relevant to all desert regions, and is particularly topical in view of current interest in land degradation and desertification in drylands and its possible link with global warming scenarios. Desert Aeolian Processes is essential reading for all postgraduate and professional physical geographers, gemoorphologists and geologistst engaged in research into desert geomorphology and eolian processes.
