沙丘地貌形态监测与模拟是风沙地貌学重要的研究内容,对其研究有助于评估沙地景观对气候变化、人类活动的响应,以及沙漠化正逆发展程度.本文对国内外沙丘的形态监测发展历史进行了简要回顾,就沙丘形态监测与模拟研究做了扼要评述,并对目前研究中存在的问题及今后研究的方向进行了探讨.
Monitoring and simulating of dune morphology is important in aeolian geomorphology.Such research will help to understand geomorphologic response under the background of global warming,human activity,and positive or negative development of desertification.Research history in dune morphology from aspects of monitoring and simulating was reviewed and evaluated,problems in present research was discussed,direction of future research was proposed.
