This book was first published in 2004. Wind erosion and deposition
are important factors in cold climates because of the open space
and scarce vegetation. Aeolian processes connected with sand drift
in polar environments are similar to those in deserts but in cold
environments, frost and snow also play an important role. The
Arctic is characterised by strangely eroded rocks, wind-formed
lakes, sand dunes and loess deposits that owe their formation to
aeolian processes controlled by frost and snow cover. Wind as a
Geomorphic Agent in Cold Climates presents a detailed description
and explanation of these wind-generated polar landforms. It
includes numerous illustrations that will assist the reader in
identifying and interpreting these features; both modern-day and
those preserved in the geological record. This book provides an
important introduction to this area of geocryology and will form a
useful reference for graduate students and researchers in a variety
of fields, including geomorphology, geology and environmental
science.
