Gnamma Pit Growth and Paleowind Intensity in the Sonoran Desert: Insights from Wind Tunnel Experiments and Numerical Modeling
abstract: Gnamma pit is an Australian aboriginal term for weathering pit. A mix of weathering and aeolian processes controls the formation of gnamma pits. There is a potential to utilize gnamma as an indicator of paleowind intensity because gnamma growth is promoted by the removal of particles from...
