Auteur :
KOTARBA, A.

Description :
Detailed geomorphological mapping, supplemented by lichenometric datings and lacustrine sediment studies, shows that debris flow activity on the high-mountain Tatra slopes/South Poland/increased in both frequency and occurrence as well as magnitude during the Little Ice Age. At present, debris flow activity is limited to apex sector of talus slopes. Only sporadically debris flows affect a whole slope. - (DG)
