His vehicle is near the sand pits.

Now, sand dunes cover only about one fifth of our deserts.

Why was Mart out there on the sand dunes?

Magnus Larsson Turning dunes into architecture

They took photographs, they fed the photographs into their computer program, and that computer program shaped a sand dune and then took that sand dune shape and turned it into at their instructions, using standard software with slight modifications a set of instructions for pieces of wood.

So they went out and they modeled a computer model of a sand dune.

And when you go to the beach, what do you get? You get sand dunes.

So let's make architectural sand dunes and a beach cabana.

Sand dunes are almost like ready made buildings in a way.

As I said earlier, it looked very much like Earth, so you see sand dunes.

(g) Control of desertification, including sand dune fixation and improved range land management.

Have you any idea why he was on the dunes last night?

This is known as the angle of repose, and a prime example is the surface of sand dunes.

The land is mostly flat, and gently undulating covered with bush and grasses covering the sand dunes, and areas of larger trees.

So to test this crazy idea, we developed a small dune buggy prototype vehicle to test the feasibility.

They took photographs, they fed the photographs into their computer program, and that computer program shaped a sand dune and then took that sand dune shape and turned it into at their instructions, using standard software with slight modifications a set of instructions for pieces of wood.

New orders for the independent tank battalion were to break off the attack and to attack from the north, through the sand dunes.

The way it does this is it comes out at night, crawls to the top of a sand dune, and because it's got a matte black shell, is able to radiate heat out to the night sky and become slightly cooler than its surroundings.

The site comprised a mosque, a minaret, (now demolished), and a maqam, as well as at least nine wells dispersed in the sand dunes nearby.

It provides a physical support structure for the trees, and it creates physical spaces, habitable spaces inside of the sand dunes.

This infantry attack was to occur under the cover of darkness, following a secondary approach to Um Katef through the sand dunes.

The Asian TPN 3 on rangeland management in arid areas, including the fixation of shifting sand dunes, was launched in 2001.

In fact, in some areas of the US and other countries, only extensive dune fields and vegetated areas are used to separate buildings from the seashore.

The way it does this is it comes out at night, crawls to the top of a sand dune, and because it's got a matte black shell, is able to radiate heat out to the night sky and become slightly cooler than its surroundings.

Inside of the dunes we find shade.

The Israeli army has buried rubble in sites risking pollution, especially in sand dune areas, which are natural infiltration for the Gaza aquifer.50

The remaining 14 is layered with terrigenous sediments.

How do we glue those grains of sand together?

Don't forget the time. Remember the hourglass.

At the same time, specific measures are being undertaken to increase public awareness, to decrease migration to urban areas through socio economic development of rural ones, to protect the environment and restore the ecological conditions of degraded lands, to stabilize sand dunes and to encourage public participation.

Since the 1950s, it has organized programmes to eradicate malaria, restore soil fertility, manage farming systems without poisoning ecosystems, restore water quality and help the Sahel region keep sand dunes from burying roads and farms.

You told me there was a tag on the sundial.

Right down there, beyond that railing, at the sand sculptures.

We spent the honeymoon on Hourglass Lake.

In 2002 a pilot project design meeting for TPN 3 approved the systematic design for testing on pilot project plots the application of mulching, soil conditioning and windbreaks for sand fixation and rangeland protection.

The origin of the hourglass is uncertain, although beginning in the 14th century, the hourglass was used commonly, especially on board ships.

48. Other evaluations made by UNSO during 1992 included two in UNSO financed activities in strategic framework processes, in Burkina Faso and Ghana, as well as project evaluation in Senegal (sand dune fixation) and Kenya (ecological monitoring).

15. Bio sand filters for household water treatment

And my sand dollars had grown to the size of cities.

They love Namibia for its beautiful dunes, that are even taller than the Empire State Building.

Some of those grains may then accumulate on a massive scale, into a sand dune.

It adds roughness to the dune's surface, to the texture of the dune's surface, binding the grains.

But, by now, you're probably asking, how am I planning to solidify a sand dune?

There's hundreds, up to a 1,000 or 1,200 miles of dunes.

The dunes here move southward at a pace of around 600 meters a year.
