Analysis of alluvial fans growth using topographic and empirical methods: National Route N° 150, San Juan, Argentina
Main Article Content
Abstract
The present study aims to estimate the growth rate of four alluvial fans from topographic information, by temporally comparing their surfaces and applying Gavrilovic's empirical method.
The selected sector includes a section of National Route 150 in the department of Iglesia, approximately 145 km north of the capital city of San Juan. This area is characterized by short-term heavy rainfall which triggers significant flows that transport large volumes of solid material (sediments of different granulometries, remains of vegetation and debris) and accumulate in the lower slopes, usually creating alluvial fans or supplying the already existing ones. The preliminary findings for four of the surveyed geoforms that are presented in this paper suggest that their volume has increased.
