Description

International Journal of Land Processes and Arid Environment (IJLPAE) is a scholarly peer reviewed interdisciplinary international scientific journal published four times in a year, focusing on field and laboratorial investigations, theories, and numerical simulations of land processes in arid environment. It publishes original research articles, short communications, review articles, comments and reply, book reviews, and conference information. The scope includes, but not limited to, the following topics:

Motions of sand grain: creep, saltation, and suspension etc.
Singing, avalanche, and other physical phenomena of sand
Features of natural airflow: coherent structures, stability, and atmospheric electromagnetic field etc.
Transports of mass, momentum, and energy by wind
Abrasion
Entrainment, transport, and deposition of dust
Effects of duststorm on climate, air quality, and modern communications networks.
Techniques for wind erosion measurements
Control of wind erosion: windbreak, straw checkerboard sand barries, and various other methods.
Aeolian sand ripples, granular ripples, and dunes
Ventifact and yardang
Mechanism, impacts, and control of sandy, rocky and other types of desertifications
Hydrological processes, water resource, and land utilization in arid region
Ecosystem in extreme arid desert region
Rock varnish, aeolian deposits, and chronology
Palaeoenvironmental variation of desert
Planetary aeolian processes
Relationships between pedogenetic and depositional processes in modern and ancient desertic environment
