Aeolian Grain Transport 1 : Mechanics / edited by Ole E. Barndorff-Nielsen, Brian B. Willetts.
These two volumes contain a collection of selected papers on a wide range of aspects of natural transport and re-sorting of sand and soil. Apart from one paper on avalanche and a small number in which sea waves are also an agent, the papers all deal exclusively with wind erosion. One paper reviews i...
