Eolian processes involve the transportation, deposition, and erosion of sediments by wind. These processes are most active in arid and semi-arid environments, leading to the formation of dunes, loess deposits, and desert pavements. Eolian processes are critical in understanding desert landscapes, sediment transport mechanisms, and past climatic conditions.
