Earth analogues of aeolian landforms and 3D airflow modelling on Mars
Doctoral College Earth analogues of aeolian bedforms to be used as surrogate field sites on Mars Investigation of formational and evolutionary mechanisms of aeolian features (particularly Transverse Aeolian Ridges) on Mars Wind-driven processes dominate the present day surface environment on Mars. Understanding landform and bedform evolution by wind action helps determine Mars’ evolutionary history. Aeolian (windblown) accumulations now dominate the planet’s surface in the form of extensive dune fields and within these a distinct bedform type known as Transverse Aeolian Ridges (TARs) a...
