It is well established that dune morphology is a consequence of variability in wind direction: predominantly unidirectional sand flux results in barchanoid and transverse dunes under conditions of relatively low and high sand supply, respectively; oblique and bi-directional sand flux creates linear dune...

The current literature on HSs mobilizes different conceptual models and typologies, with some success in their application to describe HS components, but also with certain shortcomings. One of the critical points is defining what falls within HSs and what falls beyond them, i.e., external factors...
Mankind has always relied on “practical wisdom” in the sense of Aristotle to change people and society. However, practical wisdom is difficult to accumulate and pass on from generation to generation. Therefore, although “natural engineering” that is
