Even for books that cover parts of the field, none has been published for over a decade. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003ci\u003eDunes\u003c\/i\u003e summarises what is and what is not known about the shapes, sizes, patterns, distribution, history and care of wind-blown dunes. It covers terrestrial dunes and those elsewhere in the Solar System, and underpins these fields with chapters on winds, wind-blown sand, ripples, and the process of sand movement. The book incorporates the findings of mathematical models; improved instrumentation for the measurement of sand movement in the field and in the wind tunnel; the analysis of remotely-sensed images; dating techniques, especially those dependent on thermoluminescence; even some stratigraphy and pedology.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Wiley","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":45091252732055,"sku":"9781444339680","price":2614.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0666\/3471\/1191\/files\/9781444339680.webp?v=1769204053","url":"https:\/\/atlanticbooks.com\/products\/dunes-dynamics-morphology-history-9781444339680","provider":"Atlantic Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
