Sand transverse dune aerodynamics: 3D Coherent Flow Structures from a computational study [PDF]
, 2015 The engineering interest about dune fields is dictated by the their interaction with a number of human infrastructures in arid environments. Sand dunes dynamics is dictated by wind and its ability to induce sand erosion, transport and deposition.

Observations and Preliminary Vulnerability Assessment of a Hybrid Dune-Based Living Shoreline
Journal of Marine Science and Engineering, 2020 A novel hybrid (e.g., vegetation, sand, cobble, rip-rap) nature-based dune structure was constructed at Cardiff State Beach in Encinitas, California, to protect a critical transportation artery from undermining and frequent flooding.

Calculation of the Rub’ al Khali Sand Dune Volume for Estimating Potential Sand Sources
Remote Sensing, 2022 The Rub’ al Khali desert (or Empty Quarter) is the largest and perhaps most significant sand sea in the world. Located on the southern Arabian Peninsula, the dune field has remained largely unexplored owing to the harsh clime and difficult terrain.

Craters as sand traps: Dynamics, history, and morphology of modern sand transport in an active Martian dune field [PDF]
, 2020 Aeolian transport of sand is abundant on modern-day Mars, as revealed by remote sensing measurements of the motion of dunes, and of the meter-scale ripples that mantle them. We study a large-scale natural sand trap within the Meroe Patera dune field: a 1.
