We appreciate these aesthetically and then go to Reineck & Singh ‘Depositional Sedimentary Environments’ to understand the geomorphological and physical details. Two sides of the brain.

Absolutely. I am always trying to understand to processes involved in these ripple patterns. The book you recommend is a bit too expensive for me to check out; but Chapter 6 in “The World’s Beaches – a global guide to the science of the shoreline” by Pilkey, Neal, Kelly & Cooper has some of the basics.

Excellent yet again. And thanks. My wife is a Dubliner, and we like to visit the Dingle whenever we can. I’m hoping we will make future visits, and I’ll make a specific attempt to see these ‘live’. I am also wondering if you have taken similar photos of Swansea Bay, which has a most interesting, and dynamic, distribution of wave patterns and particle sizes. (But then, all beaches are like that in their own individual way.)

Hello, Dave. Yes, many photos of sand ripples in Swansea Bay. Check out earlier posts on the blog at https://natureinfocus.blog/?s=swansea+bay+sand+ripples
Swansea and Gower will be the first places that we visit when travel is permitted!
