Summary/Abstract: The article presents the features of the geomorphological landscape dominated by sand covers and dunes withinthe inactive middle Warta River valley. Detailed geological and geomorphological mapping, sedimentological analysis and agedeterminations using 14C and OSL methods allowed their formation to be placed in the late Weichselian/early Holoceneand the late Holocene. It was found that the nature of aeolian processes is the result of local aerodynamic conditions,the presence of alluvia and fluvioglacial deposits, and substrate moisture.
