Cold-climate aeolian processes, landforms, and deposits
Convener: Melanie A. StammlerECSECS | Co-conveners: Daniel HölblingECSECS, Thomas Stevens, Anu Kaakinen, Shuangwen Yi

This session explores cold-climate aeolian processes, landforms, and deposits, such as sand dunes and loess, with a focus on their roles in landscape dynamics and evolution. We welcome abstracts covering research on wind-driven sediment production, transport, and accumulation, as well as landform and bedform development in the Arctic and high-latitude regions, along with the environmental and climate history such processes, landforms and deposits reveal. Contributions using diverse methods, including dating, remote sensing, and stratigraphic analysis, are especially encouraged. The session aims to address the impacts of climate change on these landscapes and their evolution over time. Key topics include aeolian processes, landscape evolution, and the interaction between wind, climatic conditions, and sediment in shaping cold-climate environments.
