The dynamics of a small linear dune on the northern margin of the Namib Sand Sea, in the area south of Gobabeb, have been monitored using erosion pins placed at the dune tip since 1969. GPS measurements of these pins enabled estimation of the rates
behavior appear to be related to changes in wind regime and the vegetation cover of the interdune area, as a result of increased rainfall in recent years. This study demonstrates the dynamic nature of the tip of this dune and its sensitivity to changes
