Perhaps the most profound sandy secrets mature are written in the chemistry of the sand itself. Quartz grains, when examined under a luminescence microscope, can tell you the last time they saw sunlight. This is optically stimulated luminescence (OSL) dating.

By taking a core from a mature dune in the Nebraska Sandhills (the largest stabilized dune field in the Western Hemisphere), scientists discovered that the sand last moved during the Medieval Climate Anomaly (900–1300 AD) and then again during the Little Ice Age. The mature secret here is that these dunes are not dead—they are “sleeping.” And they could wake up. As the modern climate warms, these mature dunes are beginning to destabilize. The sand grains, which have stored their secret of immobility for 800 years, are starting to move again.

Moreover, organic matter trapped between mature sand layers holds carbon isotopes that reveal past vegetation. In the Outer Banks of North Carolina, mature dune cores showed a dramatic shift from C3 grasses (cool season) to C4 grasses (warm season) exactly 4,200 years ago—coinciding with a global megadrought that collapsed the Akkadian Empire in Mesopotamia. The sand in North Carolina has no empire to topple, but it remembers the same dry wind.
