Wind-driven activity has sculpted vast expanses of the Earth’s surface throughout the Quaternary, redistributing sand and silt into dynamic landforms such as dunes, loess blankets and sand sheets.

Arid landscapes are sculpted predominantly by wind, whose capacity to erode, transport and deposit sediment underpins the diversity of desert landforms. Aeolian processes encompass the mobilisation of ...

Named after Aeolus, the Greek god of wind, aeolian processes pertain to the godlike ways wind can sculpt a landscape. Over time, fine sediments such as silt or sand are picked up and deposited, ...

In the context of phenomena, “aeolian” refers to physical processes and resulting features driven by the action of wind on unconsolidated or loosely consolidated surface materials, primarily sediments ...
