Alluvial fans: geomorphology, sedimentology, dynamics - introduction. A review of alluvial-fan research
This volume presents a series of papers on the geomorphology, sedimentology and dynamics of alluvial fans, selected from those presented at the 'Alluvial Fans' Conference held in Sorbas, SE Spain in June 2003. The conference was sponsored primarily by the British Geomorphological Research Group and the British Sedimentological Research Group, both organizations affiliated to the Geological Soci...

متن کاملChannel Dynamics, Sediment Transport, and the Slope of Alluvial Fans: Experimental Study1
We present the results of an experimental study of alluvial fan sedimentation under conditions of constant inflow water discharge Qw, sediment supply Qso, and median grain size D. The study was designed to complement and test a recently formulated model of alluvial fan sedimentation and to emphasize the interactions between, and controls on, flow channelization and equilibrium fan slope. Flow c...
متن کاملLarge alluvial fans on Mars
[1] Several dozen distinct alluvial fans, 10 to 40 km long downslope, have been observed in highlands craters. Within a search region between 0 and 30 S, alluvial fan-containing craters were found only between 18 and 29 S, and they all occur at around ±1 km of the MOLA-defined Martian datum. Within the study area they are not randomly distributed but instead form three distinct clusters. Fans t...
متن کاملExperimental Alluvial Fan Evolution: Channel Dynamics, Slope Controls, and Shoreline Growth
River deltas and alluvial fans have channelization and deposition dynamics that are not entirely understood, but which dictate the evolution of landscapes of great social, economic, and ecologic value. Our lack of a process-based understanding of fan dynamics hampers our ability to construct accurate prediction and hazard models, leaving these regions vulnerable. Here we describe the growth of ...
