I made this image of Mohua/Farewell Spit from near Pillar Point on an incredibly windy day in Jan 2019. The uses it in their information about the Onetahua Restoration Project. I had a real thrill yesterday upon opening an email from aeolian geomorphologist Mike Hilton. Mike wrote:

“I just found the Onetahua Restoration web page of the Tasman Environmental Trust and was struck by the great work and the image of what appears to be sand transport taken by Ann Wheatley. I have never seen a photograph anything like the one you took. We really don’t have a name for it, but it’s a form of long-vector saltation.”

It turns out that in geology saltation is a specific type of particle transport by fluids such as wind or water. In this case winds of over 50 knots were blowing sand from the seaward side of the spit to the Golden Bay side.

This obviously made my day!
