Grain size discrimination between sands of desert and coastal dunes from northwestern Mexico
A textural study of grain-size distribution parameters (mean graphic size Mz, sorting σ, skewness Ski, kurtosis KG) was carried out in the state of Sonora, in NW Mexico. The aim was to distinguish between desert and coastal dunes based on the textural parameters of the sands. Sixty two sand samples...
