The transport of sand and dust by wind is a potent erosional force, creates sand dunes and ripples, and loads the atmosphere with suspended dust aerosols. This article presents an extensive review of the physics of wind-blown sand and dust on Earth and Mars. Specifically, we review the physics of aeolian saltation, the formation and development of sand dunes and ripples, the physics of dust aerosol emission, the weather phenomena that trigger dust storms, and the lifting of dust by dust devils and other small- scale vortices. We also discuss the physics of wind-blown sand and dune formation on Venus and Titan.

  • 1 the Lifecycle of Hollows on Mercury
    The Lifecycle of Hollows on Mercury: An Evaluation of Candidate Volatile Phases and a Novel Model of Formation. 1 1 2 3 M. S. Phillips , J. E. Moersch , C. E. Viviano , J. P. Emery 1Department of Earth and Planetary Sciences, University of Tennessee, Knoxville 2Planetary Exploration Group, Johns Hopkins University Applied Physics Laboratory 3Department of Astronomy and Planetary Sciences, Northern Arizona University Corresponding author: Michael Phillips ([email protected]) Keywords: Mercury, hollows, thermal model, fumarole. Abstract On Mercury, high-reflectance, flat-floored depressions called hollows are observed nearly globally within low-reflectance material, one of Mercury’s major color units. Hollows are thought to be young, or even currently active, features that form via sublimation, or a “sublimation-like” process. The apparent abundance of sulfides within LRM combined with spectral detections of sulfides associated with hollows suggests that sulfides may be the phase responsible for hollow formation. Despite the association of sulfides with hollows, it is still not clear whether sulfides are the hollow-forming phase. To better understand which phase(s) might be responsible for hollow formation, we calculated sublimation rates for 57 candidate hollow-forming volatile phases from the surface of Mercury and as a function of depth beneath regolith lag deposits of various thicknesses. We found that stearic acid (C18H36O2), fullerenes (C60, C70), and elemental sulfur (S) have the appropriate thermophysical properties to explain hollow formation. Stearic acid and fullerenes are implausible hollow-forming phases because they are unlikely to have been delivered to or generated on Mercury in high enough volume to account for hollows.

THE REBIRTH OF THE CLAssIcs IN ARENT PAssER’S OEUVRE The history of art would have to kill the image so that its object, art might try to escape the extreme dissemination imposed upon us by images – from the ones that haunt our dreams and float by in clouds to the ones … To kill the image this was to want to extract from a subject that is always rent, con- tradictory, unconscious, in a sense “stupid”, the harmonious, intelligent, conscious, and immortal humanity of man. Georges Didi-Huberman, Devant l’image. Questions posées aux fins d’une histoire de l’art. Transl. John Goodman (Pennsylvania: University Park, 2005), 219. The sepulchral monument of Pontus de la Gardie and his wife Sofia Johannsdotter (Gyllenhielm), daughter of John III of Sweden, is an opus magnum of the Renaissance and the most important sepulchral monu- ment that has ever been erected in Tallinn. It is the will of history that we know the circumstances of the monument’s erection and the fact that its author is Arent Passer; which, thanks to the article on this topic pub- lished by Sten Karling in 19381, has allowed the monument to remain in DOI: http://dx.doi.org/10.12697/BJAH.2014.8.02 Translation by Margus Tuvike and Juta Ristsoo. 1 Sten Karling, “Arent Passer, Lisand Tallinna kunstiajaloole”, Vana Tallinn, Vol. III (Tallinn: Tallinna Ajaloo Selts, 1938), 28ff. 46 Juhan Maiste Fig. 1.
