Sedimentology of the Narmada alluvial fan, western India

A Reinterpretation of the Baturetno Formation: Stratigraphic Study of the Baturetno Basin, Wonogiri, Central Java

“…Alluvial fans form primarily because the feeder channel experiences a loss in confinement, as it emerges from the mountains onto the plains (Chamyal et al, 1997). The lineament is one of the important factors for alluvial development (Blair and McPherson, 1994).…”

Late Pleistocene alluvial plain sedimentation in Lower Narmada Valley, Western India: Palaeoenvironmental implications

“…1B and 2). The alluvial fan facies comprises two large alluvial fans whose sedimentological details are available in Chamyal et al (1997Chamyal et al ( , 2002. However, the sediments comprising the alluvial plain facies, that stratigraphically overlie the alluvial fan sediments (Figs.…”

Alluvial fans as an effect of long-term man–landscape interactions and moist climatic conditions: A case study from the Glubczyce Plateau, SW Poland

“…Numerous studies are concerned with inner structure, morphology and hydrology of alluvial fans (e.g., Blissenbach, 1954;Rachocki, 1981;Harvey, 1988;Blair and McPherson, 1992;Calvache et al, 1997;Blair and McPherson, 1998). To date, the majority of investigations of alluvial fans were conducted in mountain and foremountain areas, where forms built of coarse-grained sediments, often derived partly from debris flows, were analyzed (Bull, 1977;Brazier, 1987;Chamyal et al, 1997;Gómez-Villar and Garcia-Ruiz, 1997;Sorriso-Valvo et al, 1998;Harvey et al, 1999a;Webb et al, 1999;Gómez-Villar and Garcia-Ruiz, 2000;Anderson et al, 2000;Zanchetta et al, 2004). It is assumed that particularly four factors control the evolution of alluvial fans: intrinsic controls (e.g., Patton and Schumm, 1975;Scott and Erskine, 1994), changes of base level (Miall, 1992;Harvey et al, 1999a), climatic variations (Wasson, 1977;Starkel, 1991;Chamyal et al, 1997;Harvey et al, 1999b;Larue, 2002), land use changes (Teisseyre, 1995;Coulthard, 2001;Coulthard et al, 2002;Larue, 2002;Klimek, 2003;Zygmunt, 2004;De Moor and Verstraeten, 2008), or the relative roles of climate or human activities (Ballantyne, 1991;Chiverrell et al, 2007Chiverrell et al, , 2008.…”
