Bounding Surfaces in a Barchan Dune: Annual Cycles of Deposition? Seasonality or Erosion by Superimposed Bedforms?

open access: yesRemote Sensing, 2019
A barchan dune near Tarfaya in Morocco has been surveyed using ground-penetrating radar (GPR) revealing packages of dipping strata within the dune that are truncated by bounding surfaces. The bounding surfaces dip in the downwind direction, truncate sets

Size distribution and structure of Barchan dune fields [PDF]

open access: yesNonlinear Processes in Geophysics, 2011
Barchans are isolated mobile dunes often organized in large dune fields. Dune fields seem to present a characteristic dune size and spacing, which suggests a cooperative behavior based on dune interaction. In Duran et al.

Ground Penetrating Radar Observations of Subsurface Structures From the Makgadikgadi Pans (Botswana): A Terrestrial Analogue of Martian Playa Lakes

open access: yesJournal of Geophysical Research: Planets, Volume 131, Issue 10, October 2026.
Abstract Playa lakes are considered promising landing sites on Mars because of their strong astrobiological potential. Therefore, sediments and buried structures in terrestrial playa lakes have become the focus of numerous analogue studies. The inclusion of ground penetrating radar (GPR) in the payloads of Martian missions has opened new avenues for ...

Spatial and temporal evolution of a coastal erg margin: The Middle Jurassic Page Sandstone, southern Utah, USA

open access: yesSedimentology, Volume 73, Issue 6, Page 2081-2119, October 2026.
ABSTRACT Aeolian deflationary events are erosive to static stages where sediment supply is insufficient to support bedform migration and preservation in the rock record. In the vicinity of shallow‐marine environments, inland rises of relative water table and associated generation of deflationary super surfaces may be driven by the onset of ...

The dune size distribution and scaling relations of barchan dune fields [PDF]

open access: yes, 2008
Barchan dunes emerge as a collective phenomena involving the generation of thousands of them in so called barchan dune fields. By measuring the size and position of dunes in Moroccan barchan dune fields, we find that these dunes tend to distribute ...
