Take-away Points National Parks like GSDNPP provide natural laboratories for conducting basic research Monitoring active sand dunes reveals complex dune movements requiring complex winds Lessons learned at GSDNPP can inform dune movement on Earth and on other planets Relevant to understanding planetary dunes ‘Namib’ Dune on Mars, as imaged by Curiosity rover (NASA, 1/16)
