Work is now
well underway on the construction of the Database of Aeolian Sedimentary
Architecture (DASA). This architectural database will provide quantitative
metrics relating to modern aeolian systems, as well as ancient outcropping and
subsurface aeolian successions. As of December 2019, DASA holds information on
16 case studies expressed as 79 subsets. The database stores information on the
geometry and composition of 173 depositional elements, 1,373 architectural
elements, 1,575 architectural transitions, 825 facies units and 347 facies
transitions. We aim to grow the database considerably over coming months and
ultimately expect to store information from well over 200 global case studies.
The project is being led by Grace Cosgrove, FRG-ERG Research Fellow.
