The idea for this volume came during the dryland sessions of the
Association of American Geographers meeting in San Diego in April,
1992. The large number of papers devoted to aeolian processes and
landforms indicated to me that aeolian geomorphology had come of
age and the last 15 years or so had produced a plethora of papers,
books, and edited volumes on all aspects of aeolian geomorphology.
Chapter one is my tentative attempt to place develop ments in
aeolian geomorphology in a historical perspective and to
contemplate some thoughts about the future. The fourteen papers
selected address a wide range of issues ranging from micro-scale
studies devoted to aeolian dust, sediment transport, and rock
varnish in ventifacts to medium-scale studies of dunes and dune
forms, reverse desertification, and macro-scale studies of ergs and
sand transport pathways. The American Southwest, particularly the
spectacular and unique Mojave Desert of California, is featured
prominently in seven chapters. I hope this volume provides students
and colleagues some new perspectives in aeolian geomorphology as
well as pathways for future work."
