Seasonal Variation of Catenary-Bead Dunes in the Yangtze River Estuary: Causes and Implications
Low-angle lee-side slopes of dunes are commonly developed on the world’s riverbeds, and dune migration associated with sediment transport exert a major influence on riverine processes.

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

Mechanisms of Dune Growth and Decay in Rivers
The mechanisms responsible for dune growth and decay remain a major unknown in river dynamics. Two theories have been supported by experiments and numerical models. A hydrodynamic explanation suggests that growth and decay occur due to phase lags between
