Wind erosion has such a pervasive influence on environmental and
agricultural matters that academic interest in it has been
continuous for several decades. However, there has been a tendency
for the resulting publications to be scattered widely in the
scientific litera ture and consequently to provide a less coherent
resource than might otherwise be hoped for. In particular,
cross-reference between the literature on desert and coastal
morphology, on the deterioration of wind affected soils, and on the
process mechanics of the grain/air flow system has been
disappointing. A successful workshop on "The Physics of Blown
Sand," held in Aarhus in 1985, took a decisive step in collecting a
research community with interests spanning geomorphology and
grain/wind process mechanics. The identification of that Community
was reinforced by the Binghampton Symposium on Aeolian
Geomorphology in 1986 and has been fruitful in the development of a
number of international collaborations. The objectives of the pre
sent workshop, which was supported by a grant from the NATO
Scientific Affairs Division, were to take stock of the progress in
the five years to 1990 and to extend the scope of the community to
include soil deterioration (and dust release) and those beach
processes which link with aeolian activity on the coast."
