A prospectus for future geomorphological investigation of the Namib Sand Sea

The Namib Sand Sea provides a unique opportunity to study the evolution and dynamics of sand seas. This study outlines advanced approaches and techniques for investigating wind climate, dune morphometry, sediment structure, dune age, and modeling dune development. By integrating these methods, researchers aim to deepen our understanding of sand sea formation, sand flux, and dune patterns. The prospectus highlights the potential for future geomorphological research in this dynamic and ecologically significant landscape.
