Eolian erosion of polygons in the Atacama Desert as a proxy for hyper-arid environments on Earth and beyond
Abstract Polygonal networks occur on various terrestrial and extraterrestrial surfaces holding valuable information on the pedological and climatological conditions under which they develop. However, unlike periglacial polygons that are commonly used as an environmental proxy, the information that p...
