Abstract

This chapter defines and describes the global distribution of sand seas and large dunefields. Factors controlling their distribution and size are discussed, including climate, topography, the distribution of large sand sources, and regional-scale sand transport pathways. The response of sand seas and dunefields to changes in climate and sea level is also discussed.
