Sedimentology of continental erg-margin interactions
Modern ergs are characterized by bedform types and distributions that reflect the directional variability and result and drift potential of the wind regime. Sand accumulates in the erg-centre, an area of low resultant drift potential where large, slow-moving linear and star draas act as sediment sin...
