Zibars are coarse-grain-armored, low-relief aeolian bedforms with a large spacing but without slipfaces. Little is known of their morphodynamic processes, even though they are ubiquitous at upwind desert margins. In this paper, we describe the morphological and sedimentary features of oblique zibars in the northeastern Kumtagh Desert of China; analyze the effective wind regime; and discuss the significance...
Yardangs are typical wind-eroded landforms that are found in most of the world's major deserts. This paper describes the morphology of yardangs in the Kumtagh Desert, analyzes their control factors, and discusses their development processes, age, and rates of formation. Yardangs in the Kumtagh Desert lack the ideal streamlined morphology and the length-to-width ratio close to 4:1 that have been previously...
