This research investigates how wind transports sand across Mars to improve the safety of future space missions. Combining measurements from Earth-based analogue dunes with computational modelling and NASA satellite data, the approach predicts Martian winds and sandstorms with high accuracy, potentially reducing landing risks and supporting future human exploration of Mars.
