“…Similar intra‐basin crescentic landforms have also been identified on the surface of Mars (Franchi et al, 2014; Pondrelli et al, 2015, 2019; Pozzobon et al, 2019), and knowledge of their formative mechanisms may help landscape interpretation in this extra‐planetary context (e.g. Bourke & Goudie, 2009; Franchi et al, 2020). One region, the Makgadikgadi Basin of northern Botswana, has received notable long‐term interest and investigation into the formation of these landforms (e.g.…”

“…Some form distinct arcuate‐shaped mounds, whilst others are more elongate in form. Previous investigations suggest they are primarily composed of poorly sorted, very fine to medium sand‐sized particles (Burrough et al, 2012; Burrough et al, in preparation; Franchi et al, 2020). Their vegetated surfaces, which can sustain a dense covering of halotrophic grasses (predominantly Odyssea paucinervis and Sporobolus ioclados ), make these features visibly distinct in remotely sensed imagery, in contrast to the generally de‐vegetated and inhospitably saline conditions of the pan floor (Burrough et al, 2012).…”
