"... a handsome and invaluable resource ... would certainly recommend...." (Journal of Quaternary Science, Vol 15/6, 2000) "... recommend it to all geographers and geologists... from the specialist to the occasional seeker of information on the topic." (New Phytologist, Vol 147, 2000) "... the volume will be an excellent source for graduate students and professionals." (Progress in Physical Geography, Vol. 25 No.3, 2001)
Die äolische Geomorphologie beschäftigt sich mit der Formung der Landschaften durch Wind. Alle beteiligten Prozesse, von der Bodenerosion über Sanddünen bis hin zur Lößbildung, werden in diesem Band beschrieben. Den Hauptteil des Buches machen instruktiv ausgewählte Fallstudien aus; das letzte Kapitel gibt einen Ausblick auf zukünftige technologische, methodische und organisatorische Entwicklungen.
