Throughout the geologic history of Earth and other planetary bodies, transgressions and regressions of water levels (stages) in oceans, lakes, and river channels have influenced sediment transport in adjacent aeolian landforms (Nie et al., 2015;Reading, 2009). Transgressions inundate or saturate sediment, for example on beaches and coastal aeolian dunes, and cause aeolian sediment transport to be supply-limited either through direct inundation of sediment or because the moisture increases inter-particle bonding and sediment cohesion, making sediment less mobile (Belly, 1964;Chepil, 1956;McKenna-Neuman & Nickling, 1989;Sherman et al., 1998). Regressions cause sediment deposits to desiccate (dry), leading to transport-limited conditions where aeolian sediment transport is limited by wind velocity instead of by the supply of dry sediment (
