Wind is a much more powerful force in the evolution of mountains than previously thought, according to a new report. The researchers figured out wind's rock-sculpting abilities by studying gigantic ...

China's Loess Plateau was formed by wind alternately depositing dust or removing dust over the last 2.6 million years, according to a new report from University of Arizona geoscientists. The study is ...

The planet huffed and puffed and blew away rock that could have formed mighty mountains, according to new research. Bedrock in Central Asia that would have formed mountains over the past 3 million ...

The study of loess soil mechanics is essential to understand its structural behaviour and the challenges it poses for engineering applications. Loess, a wind-blown, fine-grained sediment, exhibits a ...
