- Despite the old belief on the dynamics of the avalanching effects at the lee side of sand dunes, this study showed that avalanching can occur even at the absence of sediment supply. This is a huge discovery on the aeolian sediment transport that has significant impact on stratigraphy practices. Current studies on geological features of Mars, which are covered by aeolian sand dunes, are mainly based on the graphical impressions and are benefited by this observation
