A study of global sand seas

TL;DR: In this article, the authors discuss the dune sediment types, sand color, sediment provenance and hydrology in the Strzelecki-Simpson dunefield in Australia.

TL;DR: VEIGA et al. as discussed by the authors studied the deformation and preservation of dune topography associated with the flooding of the dune field in the Neuquen Basin.

TL;DR: This work presents the calculation of sand transport under bimodal winds using a dune model that is extended to account for more than one wind direction, and shows that dunes align longitudinally to the resultant wind trend if the angle θw between the wind directions is larger than 90°.

TL;DR: In this paper, a bar on the Brazos River near Calvert, Texas, has been analyzed in order to determine the geologic meaning of certain grain size parameters and to study the behavior of the size fractions with transport.

TL;DR: In this article, a detailed mapping of the sedimentary geology of Saudi Arabia by the Arabian-American Oil Co. (Aramco) began in 1933, and by 1959, exploration parties of one type or another had surveyed more than 1.3 million square kilometers (500,000 square miles).

TL;DR: In this article, the third moment (skewness) of a normal curve is used to distinguish between dune, beach, and river sand, and the difference between the two types of sand types can be numerically stated by computing the third moments of the distribution curve.
