Mesoscale Modeling of Titan’s Shangri‐La Region: The Impact of Surface Properties on Winds
Abstract The knowledge of Titan’s near‐surface atmosphere is sparse. The Huygens descent probe measured winds, and the multiple dune field observations and possible dust storms suggest active near‐surface dynamics. The Dragonfly rotorcraft lander will fly close to the surface in the Shangri‐La region, near the Huygens landing site, where complex dune ...

Long‐Term Simulations of Bar Dynamics in Compound Channels Under Climate Change
Abstract The height of alternate bars in rivers can have a significant influence on riparian vegetation succession, sediment transport, and lateral erosion. Knowing and managing river channel responses under climate change requires predicting long‐term variations in bar height.

Abstract Ecogeomorphic state transitions in coastal barrier systems will be impacted and likely amplified by projected accelerated sea‐level rise and enhanced storm intensity over the next several decades. When, where, and how these transitions will take place remain uncertain and complex, yet are of primary interest to coastal managers looking to ...

Abstract Alternative stable state theory in aeolian geomorphology describes the occurrence of bare and vegetated aeolian dunes in response to long‐term climatic and ecological drivers. Transitions between states, as well as their co‐occurrence (bistability), can arise from perturbations to drivers, disturbance, and associated biophysical feedbacks ...

Abstract Bedload transport widely occurs in natural environments and encompasses flow regimes from saltation to sheet‐flow, with markedly different fluid‐particle interaction characteristics. Understanding these mechanisms requires a numerical tool capable of capturing both the turbulence and fluid‐particle interactions, for which challenges exist due ...
