The obtained information allowed the recognition of five depositional subenvironments: 1. Dune patches; 2. Aeolian sand sheets; 3. Muddy plains; 4. Active channels; and 5. Abandoned and secondary channels. Moreover, the lithofacies pattern, sedimentary structures and geometry of the beds permitted the definition of ten architectural elements in both channel and interchannel areas. The channel architectural elements comprise active channels with intercalations of aeolian deposits (CHe), abandoned or secondary channels (CHa), aeolian sand ramp (CHsr), lateral bars (CHlb), and aeolian mesoforms (CHem). The architectural elements in the interchannel area include active dunes (Fad), fixed or low-migration rate dunes (Fsd), partially flooded interdunes (Ffd), sandy flats (Fsf), and muddy plains (Fmp). A model of the evolution of fluvial-aeolian interaction environment is proposed in which three types are recognized: dry, intermediate, and wet. Migratory dunes and sand sheets environments dominate the dry interaction systems in the floodplain (Fad, Fsf). At the same time, during the intermediate stage, Fsd and Fsf architectures prevail, together with fluvial bars with thin aeolian intercalations into the channels (CHe and CHa).

The three-dimensional (3D) quantitative methods applied in this study provide an opportunity to build on previous two-dimensional (2D) work on dunefield evolution at this site (Lancaster and McCarley-Holder, 2013 [LM2013]). The 3D quantitative methods permitted the identification and quantification of two specific regions of the Keeler Dunes not previously described or considered. With the two new regions included in the time-series analysis, the Keeler Dunes are shown to be stable from a volume perspective since the mid-1990s, with a decrease between the late 1970s and mid-1990s. These results differ from the threefold increase reported during the same timeframe using 2D techniques by LM2013. While the Keeler Dunes were found to be stable from a volume perspective, they underwent significant geomorphological changes during this period. As the semi-active and vegetated dune mounds reactivated, depositional aprons of newly mobile sand advanced downwind. Over time, the depositional aprons formed linear dunes (in the northern dunefield) and crescentic dunes (in the southern dunefield) that are still present today. Fundamentally, the quantitative photogrammetric-based approach in this work provides significant new insight into the evolution and origin of the modern Keeler Dunes.

The results demonstrated that the sediment transport rate above the gobi surface was larger than that above a sandy surface, with rates as high as 9.7 kg m<sup>-1</sup>h<sup>−1</sup>. The transport flux can be expressed as a Gaussian peak function, with the maximum sediment transport at 0.05 to 0.09 m above the surface. Principal-components analysis (PCA) indicated that the mean grain size of the transported sediment was controlled mainly by the content of silt and clay (&lt;63 μm) and fine sand (125 to 250 μm); this explains the inflection height for sediment transport. PCA also indicated that dry lacustrine deposits were the main sediment source in the study region. About 90% of the cumulative sediment transport occurs at a height below 0.65 m. Our results indicate that sediment transported over a gobi surface has higher trajectories and longer distances than above a sandy surface.
