Snow Dunes.

Record snow fall made for an interesting field trip to the Provinceland dunes earlier this year. We knew New England had been cold, but leaving Adelaide in 42 C and arriving to -16 C in Boston was a shock to the system. Nevertheless we wrapped up, put our gear together and were fortunately rewarded with some dry, bright and (best of all) windy conditions.

Hope you enjoy the few snaps below from our two weeks in the snow. Thom.

Examples of wind flow steering over a foredune for three incident wind approaches

Chuffed to announce that my first article in collaboration with Patrick Hesp, Flow deflection over a foredune, is now available in press from Geomorphology. Patrick was the most cited author in my PhD thesis and its a real pleasure to be working with him here at Flinders. Here's to many more!
