L'étang de Capestang (Languedoc) occupe une dépression molassique complexe, barrée par le bourreletalluvial du delta de l'Aude, dont le bras principal occupe depuis 1343 sa position actuelle. Le déssèchement fut plusieurs fois interrompu et repris
Lithology, through its influence on sediment production, may have an important effect on the size of alluvial fans and, hence, on fan-basin morphometric relations. The purpose of this study is to evaluate the influence of lithologic erodibility
on the relation between alluvial fan area and drainage basin area.

A mathematical model which estimates the scale-independent sediment surface profile of alluvial fans has been developed. This model utilizes a diffusive sediment transport model and an unsteady, radial flow, conservation relationship. The model
suggests that the overall dimensionless morphology of alluvial fans is governed more by fundamental diffusion principles in sediment deposition than by individual environmental or basin characteristics. A preliminary comparison indicates that this model
provides useful qualitative and quantitative information relating to alluvial fan process and morphology.
karst area two types of alluvial fans appear on carbonate bedrock. Members of the first type are ordinary alluvial fans with active alluvial processes where flysch derived sediment covered limestone surface in a distinct fan shape. - (L'A.).
In studying alluvial deposits from the Torre del Loro Beach near Huelva, southwestern Spain, it has been possible to describe not only processes and morphology of alluvial fans, but to track evolutionary changes in the morphology of the alluvial

Field and modern analytical methods have shown that Floodplain soils with a pronounced A2 horizon are a large group of soils that occur under various ecologic conditions. They include Alluvial Sod Acid and Meadow Acid residual podzolized or residual
Gray Forest soils, Alluvial Sod-Podzolic and Alluvial Gray Forest residual-sod soils, Alluvial Pseudopodzolic (Pseudogley) soils, Alluvial Sod-Podzolic soils, and Alluvial Gray Forest soils. Classification and nomenclature of these soils should take

The objectives of this study are to describe the morphology and sedimentology of an alluvial fan, the Mount Goodenough North fan, in a permafrost region; and to interpret the processes responsible for the development of the fan, using both direct

The age of a large alluvial fan debouching onto the valley floor of the River Tweed, in southern Scotland, and the sequence of events relating to this, are investigated using geomorphological, sedimentological, palynological, archaeological
Grâce à 8 datations au 14C d'échantillons de bois des dépôts de terrasse et du cône alluvial, identifie deux phases d'érosion Holocène| l'une vers 5400 BP mais avant 1900 BP, l'autre vers 900 BP. - (CB)
