Abstract

Modern research is showing clearly that there are many interactions between fluvial and aeolian processes in drylands. Aeolian accumulation patterns in time and space are strongly controlled by sediment supply from fluvial sources. Aeolian dust deposition has significant impacts on slope processes, soil development and runoff-infiltration relations, which in turn affect sediment supply to fluvial systems
