Cyril Gadal, Clément Narteau, Sylvain Courrech du Pont +2
Dune fields are commonly associated with periodic patterns that are among the most recognizable landscapes on Earth and other planetary bodies. However, in zones of limited sedimen…
Methane storms as a driver of Titan's dune orientation

Titan's equatorial regions are covered by eastward propagating linear dunes. This direction is opposite to mean surface winds simulated by Global Climate Models (GCMs), which are o…
When dunes move together, structure of deserts emerges
Mathieu Génois, Pascal Hersen, Sylvain Courrech du Pont +1
