Numerical modeling of aeolian-dune development in carbonate island settings: exploring last interglacial environmental conditions on coastal dune morphology in The Bahamas and Turks and Caicos

Abstract This paper presents an adaptation to the Aeolian Surface Model (ASM) framework, modified to account for variable surface properties and sediment transport limitations present in coastal carbonate-dune environments. The model simulates the formation of three fossilized du...
