Summary
Conceptual and technological advances have provided many new insights into desert dune processes and dynamics. Future prospects for desert dune studies will involve increasingly sophisticated models based on a wide variety of field and remote sensing datasets. Greater integration of research with environmental management in drylands will bring benefits to all.
