of the Earth’s land surface. Distribution and characteristics of
sand dunes in the northern hemisphere are the major focus.
Practical advice on how to deal with migrating dunes and a
description of proven practices are presented. The application of
recently available high-resolution satellite data for mapping and
change detection and a summary of advances in techniques for
