Aeolian Grain Transport : the Erosional Environment / edited by Ole E. Barndorff-Nielsen, Brian B. Willetts.

Wind erosion has such a pervasive influence on environmental and agricultural matters that academic interest in it has been continuous for several decades. However, there has been a tendency for the resulting publications to be scattered widely in the scientific litera­ ture and consequently to prov...
