What is Aeolian processes? A documentary report all about Aeolian processes for the blind and visually impaired or for homework/assignment. Aeolian processes, also spelled eolian, or æolian, pertain to wind activity in the study of geology and weather, and specifically to the wind's ability to shape the surface of the Earth (or other planets). Winds may erode, transport, and deposit materials, and are effective agents in regions with sparse vegetation and a large supply of unconsolidated sediments. Although water is a much more powerful eroding force than wind, aeolian processes are important in arid environments such as deserts.

The Dust Bowl, also known as the Dirty Thirties, was a period of severe dust storms that greatly damaged the ecology and agriculture of the US and Canadian prairies during the 1930s; severe drought and a failure to apply dryland farming methods to prevent wind erosion (the Aeolian processes) caused the phenomenon.

Diverse Surface Materials on Mars: Revealing the Red Planet’s Past Environments

Order: Reorder
Duration: 82:12
Updated: 10 Feb 2015

Minerals on a planetary surface can be used to provide information about the history of processes that have shaped that body. The type and duration of alteration are important because they can provide information about ancient environments. Decades of observation have shown that the early history of Mars was rich in geologic activity, including volcanic, aqueous, and aeolian processes. Remote observations have revealed much information about the compositional diversity of surface materials at a variety of spatial scales. Although the surface of Mars consists mainly of volcanic material, spectroscopic observations have indicated that volcanic processes were likely variable. Furthermore, identification of a variety of minerals indicative of aqueous processes suggests that water had played a role in shaping the volcanic surface. This Dec. 3, 2014 presentation by LASP research scientist Mikki Osterloo provides an overview of the current state of knowledge regarding the mineralogy and composition of the Martian surface through remote spectroscopic observations and what these observations infer about the past environments on Mars.
