Abstract: <p>A key knowledge gap in aeolian transport research concerns the adjustment of saltation processes to the extreme conditions found within high-latitude regions. A series of wind tunnel experiments were carried out under full climate control and over a wide range in humidity. Particle entrainment and transport within shearing flows of varied wind speed were monitored over beds of varied… more Full Text: i INVESTIGATION OF DYNAMICS OF PARTICULATE TRANSPORT UNDER VARYING CLIMATE CONDITIONS A thesis submitted to the Committee of Graduate Studies in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the Degree of Master of Science in the Faculty of Arts and Science …
