A joint meeting of the Fifth International Conference on Aeolian Research (ICAR‐5) and the Global Change and Terrestrial Ecosystems‐ Soil Erosion Network (GCTE‐SEN) brought together physical and environmental scientists interested in the latest challenges and discoveries in aeolian (wind as a geological process) research. The conference provided an opportunity for researchers focusing on both theoretical modeling and field experimentation aspects of aeolian processes to interact and learn the research needs and findings of their counterparts. Perhaps due to the meeting's location in the heartland of the North American Great Plains, many presentations at ICAR‐5 dealt with wind erosion of agricultural lands in the United States, Canada, and elsewhere. One hundred thirty scientists from 18 nations attended.
