The Combined Effect of Sediment Availability and Wind Regime on the Morphology of Aeolian Sand Dunes
Journal of Geophysical Research - Earth Surface, 2018 Aeolian‐driven sand dune orientation is a key parameter that determines dune morphology. Although wind regime, surface condition, and sediment availability all control sand dune formation, researchers have mostly put emphasis on the wind regime. However,

Fine dust emissions from active sands at coastal Oceano Dunes, California [PDF]
Atmospheric Chemistry and Physics, 2019 Sand dunes and other active sands generally have a low content of fine grains and, therefore, are not considered to be major dust sources in current climate models.
