Description :
The features of morphometry and sedimentology of 54 debris flow fans in semiarid subtropics of southwestern China are summarized here based on field surveys, interpretations of aerial photographs and measurements of topographic maps. The influence of depositional processes on the morphologic characteristics of debris flow fans is studied through depositional model experiments. These experiments were conducted near a debris flow gully just after debris flows took place.
