Most (>95%) sand occurs in accumulations known as sand seas or ergs (Wilson 1973) that comprise areas of dunes of varying morphological types and sizes as well as areas of sand sheets. Smaller dune areas are known informally as dunefields. Major sand seas occur in the old world deserts of the Sahara, Arabia, central Asia, Australia, and southern Africa, where sand seas cover between 20 and 45% of the area classified as arid (Fig. 18.1). In North and South America there are no large sand seas, and dunes cover less than 1% of the arid zone.

Sand seas contain large volumes of sand and have accumulated episodically during the Quaternary. Their construction has therefore been determined by climatic, tectonic, and sea- level changes that have affected sand supply, availability, and mobility. Understanding the history of sand seas and dunes has been revolutionized in recent years by the application of luminescence techniques to date directly periods of dune formation and/or reactivation. Compilations of information on directly dated periods of dune construction and/or reactivation indicate widespread dune activity in low- latitude deserts in the period 100–120, 35–10 and since 5 ka
