text:
Niveo-aeolian or cryo-aeolian deposition is the process by which fine-grained sediments are transported by wind and deposited on or mixed with snow or ice. The wind sweeps the snow and sand grains into aeolian landforms such as ripples, and further sorts the snow and ice grains into distinct layers.
When snow melts or sublimates, the sediments are redeposited onto the surface below., forming patterns known as denivation features. Niveo-aeolian deposition is most widespread in polar climates, but
