Of kangaroo rats and gypsum gravel: Probing the extremes of aeolian transport in the present and the past.

The article discusses an analysis of aeolian transport and its impact on kangaroo rats and gypsum gravel in the past and the present, focusing on a study by Benison within the issue which explores the concept of tornadic-strength dry convective helical vortices (DCHVs) and describes the salar of Gorbea in Andes Mountains of Chile. Topics include the turbulent flow of gypsum crystals, the horizontal velocities of gypsum particles being transported by DCHV, and illustration of actualism.
