It provides a general overview of aeolian geomorphology and sedimentology, including a historical analysis of the main trends in the development of ideas of the last 60 years. Discussions include the physics of aeolian movement and the evidence used to identify and interpret aeolian sediments in the stratigraphic column; desert and coastal dune processes; the extent and role of wind erosion in the degradation of agricultural land, and much more.
