According to their morphology two mayor types of dunes have been recognized: 1) climbing dunes associated to ramp deposits, which can ascent the mountain front; and 2) climbing dunes do not related to ramps and where deflationary channel developed between the dune front and the cliff. Climbing dunes sands show finer mean grain-size, better sorting and lower skewness than associated sand sheet deposits}, publisher = {Sociedad Geológica de España}, keywords = {Climbing dunes}, keywords = {Ramps}, keywords = {Falling dunes}, keywords = {Sand sheet}, title = {Depósitos de dunas ascendentes en la sierra de Los Tarjados, provincia de La Rioja, Argentina}, title = {Climbing dunes deposits in sierra de Los Tarjados, La Rioja province, Argentina}, author = {Tripaldi, A. and Limarino, C.
