This paper proposes that the changes which occur in composition of the bed load during the transport of mixed-grain-size sediments are largely controlled by the distributions of critical entrainment shear stress for the various size fractions. This h

Wind erosion has such a pervasive influence on environmental and agricultural matters that academic interest in it has been continuous for several decades. However, there has been a tendency for the resulting publications to be scattered widely in th

Wind tunnel experiments were conducted with a well mixed, flat sand bed, 5·7 m in length, to study the initial sand flux response at three different shear velocities. In some experiments, the bed was allowed to deplete without replenishment; in othe

Saltating particles increase the rate of dust release from sediments in arid and semi-arid areas. They also break interparticle bonds in aggregated and crusted soils, thereby increasing the number of particles available for entrainment. This pilot st

High-speed photography was used to record saltating sand grains colliding with a horizontal, noncohesive bed of similarly sized grains. Impacting grain/bed interaction is discussed in general. The process, as observed from the films, is then describe

Collision data are presented from coloured high-speed films of three size fractions of sand grains saltating over a bed of the total grain population. Each fraction was colour tagged and the proportion of each size ejected by grains colliding with th

A model of wind-blown sand transport is described with particular emphasis on the feedback between the grain cloud and the near-surface wind. The results from this model are used to develop Owen's (1964) hypothesis that ‘the grain layer behaves, so

In the last decade much progress has been made toward the development of a comprehensive model of aeolian sediment transport in which the grain/bed collision has been identified as having a significant role. The grain/bed collision has been studied b
