Short summary
The article analysed the problems of aeolian relief changes. The changes are determined by climate, neo-tectonics, and human impact. The most important climate factors are wind speed and wind direction. Strong permanent winds induced fast sand drying and activated deflation processes, which were further accelerated by a constant stream of visitors to the dunes. The neo-tectonic movements formed micro-terraces on the eastern dune slope, which changes on wet sand pressure.
