require a cessation in
aeolian dune activity but
does require non-climbing

Aeolian bypass flood
supersurface equates to
flooded but laterally
restricted interdune
ponds towards erg centre
Bypass supersurface
immediately overlain by
flood deposits
Non-climbing aeolian
bypass is a likely consequence
of flooding as aeolian sand
supply becomes restricted
by the elevated groundwater table
