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.

Numerical simulation of wind field and sand flux in crescentic sand dunes
Scientific Reports, 2021 Sand flux is the key factor to determine the migration of sand dunes and the erosion to the surrounding environment. There are crescent-shaped sand dunes of various scales in the desert, and there are significant differences in spatial wind field and ...

Monitoring the Dynamics of Formby Sand Dunes Using Airborne LiDAR DTMs
Remote Sensing, 2021 Coastal dunes play an important role in coastal erosion risk management, where they act as a dynamic natural sea defence line. Formby coast is part of the Sefton coast in the Northwest of England and is one of the largest and most rapidly evolving sand ...
