The project focused on recreating yardangs, which are strange rock formations seen in deserts caused by wind-blown dust and ...

Yardangs are bedrock features carved and streamlined by sandblasting. They cover about one third of the property and appear as massive and dramatic corrugations across the landscape with ridges and ...

Sand dunes likely dominate Titan’s lower latitudes, but yardangs—long, straight ridges formed by erosion—may stretch across the moon’s upper latitudes, her study suggests. This imbalance could ...

In the west of the desert, they propel sand at great speeds, creating sharp irregular ridges of compact sand called yardangs. These yardangs cover about a third of the Lut desert and are usually ...

This includes atmospheric modeling of near-surface wind conditions, morphologic studies of windblown landscapes (e.g., ripples, dunes, yardangs) and phenomena (e.g., dust devils), and analog field ...
