Description :
The goals of this paper are to document recent avulsions events and to clarify the processes of avulsive shifting in the Taquari megafan. To record and analyse the styles of avulsion on the Taquari megafan, a research program was developed to characterize avulsion in different geomorphologic segments of the river based on the analysis of satellite images, airphoto interpretation, overflights with photographic documentation, as well as fieldwork along the master channel.
