The role of long-term landscape photography as a tool in dune management [PDF]

open access: yes, 2009
Attitudes to maintaining dune diversity are changing under the realization that existing dune stabilization techniques are fixing dune landscapes, causing ‘coastal squeeze’ and loss of habitat as shorelines retreat.

Remotely sensed dune celerity and sand flux measurements of the world's fastest barchans (Bodele, Chad) [PDF]

open access: yes, 2008
Quantifying sand flux with field measurements is an expensive and time-consuming process. We here present an alternative approach using the COSI-Corr software package for Earth surface deformation detection.

Numerical simulation of drifting sand [PDF]

open access: yes, 2000
Two-phase flows are involved in many industrial and natural flow phenomena varying from as specific as the transport of crude oil in pipelines to as general as the dispersion of pollutants in the atmosphere.

Booming Sand Dunes [PDF]

open access: yes, 2010
"Booming" sand dunes are able to produce low-frequency sound that resembles a pure note from a music instrument. The sound has a dominant audible frequency (70-105 Hz) and several higher harmonics and may be heard from far distances away.

Quantification and implications of change in organic carbon bearing coastal dune cliffs: A multiscale analysis from the Northumberland coast, UK [PDF]

open access: yes, 2015
Eroding coastlines composed of sequences of till, carbon rich peat and sand layers are characteristic of many formerly glaciated coastlines due to the interplay of relative land and sea levels.

Special issue – coastal dune slack hydro-ecology [PDF]

open access: yes, 2017
Coastal dune slack wetlands exist at the interface between land and sea. They typically occur in the low-lying areas between dune ridges where the water table remains at or near the ground surface for some or all of the year. Like many wetland habitats,
