Morphodynamics of barchan and transverse dunes using a cellular automaton model
International audienceWe analyze the morphodynamics of bedforms produced under unidirectional flow conditions by a lattice gas cellular automaton designed to study sediment transport.

Pioneering Evidence of the Dynamics of Water Vapor and CO2 Fluxes in Sahara Desert Soils
Abstract Soil CO2 flux (Fc) is a major component of the global carbon balance. It is often overlooked in arid regions as low soil moisture restricts microbial and root respiration. Studies in the last decades challenge this paradigm, reporting an anomalous diurnal cycle of Fc in arid regions. This diurnal cycle is thought to be initiated by geochemical

Barchan types of sand dune region (barchanoid dunes) is a geographic landmark that is formed by the activity of wind that precipitated to form resembles a crescent moon. In general, sandbanks formed in the desert area, however, but uniquely, it is formed

Dynamic Evaluation of Barchans in Band-e-Rig Kashan in the Period 2013 to 2019 [PDF]
IntroductionWind erosion and the formation of sand dunes are common phenomena in many arid regions around the world. More than 100 types of sand dunes have been classified by geomorphologists based on shape and size criteria (Lancaster, 1995). One of the

Slowdown of Dune Migration in East Asia's Inland Deserts: A 35‐Year Response to Wind Stilling
Abstract Global terrestrial stilling, the recent decrease in near‐surface wind speeds, has significant environmental impacts, including reduced dust storms and vegetation recovery in East Asia's drylands. However, direct evidence of stilling effects on sand dunes is limited due to the lack of long‐term observational data.

Mean sediment residence time in barchan dunes
International audienceWhen a barchan dune migrates, the sediment trapped on its lee side is later mobilized when exposed on the stoss side. Then sand grains may undergo many dune turnover cycles before their ejection along the horns, but the amount of ...

Investigation of a wind-packing event in Queen Maud Land, Antarctica [PDF]
Surface snow in polar and mountainous regions is often mobile and this mobility influences surface mass balance and isotopic composition before final deposition, which is poorly understood thus far.

Reply to “Comment on ‘Minimal size of a barchan dune’ ”
We reply to the comment by Andreotti and Claudin (submitted to Phys. Rev. E, arXiv:0705.3525) on our paper ``Minimal Size of a Barchan Dune'' [Phys. Rev. E {\bf{75,}} 011301 (2007)]. We show that the equations of the dune model used in our calculations are self-consistent and effectively lead to a dependence of the minimal dune size on the wind speed ...
