Niveo-aeolian sand deposits on An Teallach, Wester Ross, Scotland

open access: yes, 1987
Deposits of windblown sand up to 4 m thick on the Torridon Sandstone massif of An Teallach are shown to be of predominantly niveo-aeolian origin, a form of sedimentation hitherto unrecognised in upland Britain. Sand grains weathered from bedrock and from

Dust Loading Increases During Topsoil Flash Droughts Under Rapid Surface Drying and Vegetation Stress

open access: yesGeophysical Research Letters, Volume 53, Issue 19, 16 October 2026.
Abstract Using satellite‐derived dust optical depth (DOD), reanalysis meteorology, and a global topsoil flash drought (TSFD) inventory for 2003–2022, we find that TSFD events are associated with increased dust loading at the global scale. During TSFD events, 44.7% of land pixels exhibited positive DOD anomalies.

Water-salt migration and strength characteristics of fine-grained salinized aeolian sand under freeze-thaw cycles

open access: yesShuiwen dizhi gongcheng dizhi
Freeze-thaw cycles significantly deteriorate the engineering properties of fine-grained salinized aeolian sand, resulting in a decrease in the long-term performance of aeolian sand roadbeds and frequent roadbed diseases.

Study for Aeolian Sand Characteristics by Static Experiment

open access: yes, 2011
The representative aeolian sand taken from Horqin desert freeway is used as Subgrade Material. In this paper, California Bearing Ratio (CBR) and rebound modulus E0 are analyzed by experiments which are based on different aeolian samples with different ...

Desert Plant Inspired Hierarchical Nanofibrous Membranes for Integrated Solar Desalination and Heavy Metal Remediation

open access: yesAdvanced Functional Materials, Volume 36, Issue 84, 19 October 2026.
An Alhagi maurorum inspired hierarchical composite membrane (NFCu) was developed by integrating heavy metal remediation and solar‐driven interfacial evaporation in a single platform. Beyond the photothermal effect, a localized photocatalytic process is realized on the CuO surface, deepening the mechanistic understanding of light–matter–water ...

Research on Grouting Experiment in Aeolian Sand Tunnel

open access: yes, 2011
Portland cement, superfine cement and modified sodium silicate have been taken as grouting materials in the aeolian sand tunnel which is characterized by single particle, bad gradation and loose structure.

The Implications of Ungulate Population Dynamics for Conservation and Recovery Efforts in the Middle East

open access: yesEcology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 10, October 2026.
Using long‐term population data from Arabian oryx and sand gazelle populations across the Middle East, we found consistent evidence of negative density dependence, with annual growth rates declining as population size increased, alongside evidence of temporal lag effects in Arabian oryx.

Formation mechanism and development pattern of aeolian sand landform in Yarlung Zangbo River valley

open access: yes, 1999
Aeolian sand landforms in the Yarlung Zangbo River valley can be divided into 4 classes and 21 types. The river valley has favourable environment conditions for the development of aeolian sand landforms.

Impact of Sahelian Climate Variables on Solar Photovoltaic Output

open access: yesEnergy Science &Engineering, Volume 14, Issue 10, Page 4891-4909, October 2026.
ABSTRACT Solar photovoltaic (PV) energy is a critical pathway for advancing the energy transition in the Sahel. However, PV module performance in this region is strongly constrained by extreme climatic conditions. This study investigates the effects of (1) wind speed, (2) relative humidity, (3) temperature, (4) dust deposition, and (5) solar irradiance

Distinction between aeolian sand and beach sand by discriminant analysis

open access: yes, 1981
Beach deposits occur in high energy environments with continual sorting by swash and backswash. The fines are removed by the backswash, which is not competent to remove the coarser material. Hence negative asymmetry (skewness) results.
