Abstract:River‐blocking landslides exert a deep impact on mountain range landscapes and the organization of catchments. A blocked river diverted to another watershed modifies both original and transferred drainage networks both up‐ and downstream. Using western Pyrenees examples, a geological and geomorphic framework with diagnostic criteria to detect river diversion by landslides is presented, including the identification of elbows of diversion, eroded divides, beheaded underfit rivers, diverted overfit rivers, revers… Show more
