雅丹地貌是风蚀地貌研究的重要对象,目前研究较为薄弱。雅丹地貌自瑞典探险家斯文赫定命名并开始研究以来,已有百余年的历史。随着科学技术的不断进步和研究方法的更新,已取得了重要进展,但仍存在许多问题。首先对雅丹地貌的科学定义、空间分布、形态特征、形成发育条件、形成发育过程、形成年代、与环境的关系和分类等8方面的进展和问题进行综合评述。在此基础上,对未来的研究前景进行了展望,并提出明确科学定义;加强野外监测和室内定量研究;突破雅丹形成年代研究瓶颈,深化雅丹与环境关系研究;加大研究资助力度等4点建议。

Yardang landforms research is one of the important contents in aeolian erosion landforms research, but it is weaker than Aeolian deposition landforms research at present. Yardang landforms, named by Sweden explorer Seven Hedin in 1903, have been studied over 100 years. Although many scientists made important progress with the technological improvement and methodological update in the history, lots of issues have not been resolved. In this article, the authors summarize the progress and issues in 8 aspects, including scientific definition, spatial distribution, morphology character, formation and evolution conditions and processes, formation chronology, relationship with environments and classifications. Base on the abovementioned, we make research prospects in the future, and give some suggestions,which include clarifying scientific definition, field investigation combined with laboratory quantitative study, breaking research bottleneck of formation chronology, relationship between Yardangs and environments in deep and increasing research fund.
