Snow bedforms – such as dunes, ripples, and anvil-shaped sastrugi – cover as much as 11% of the surface of the Earth, but their formation is barely understood.

How do snow bedforms evolve?
We are now preparing examples, documenting the movement of several types of bedforms, for publication. You can preview the figures below.
