Climatic and Geomorphic Interactions on Alluvial Fans in the Atacama Desert, Chile

Alluvial fan surfaces in the Atacama Desert of northern Chile preserve evidence of recent, precipitation-driven, surface flows. Determining the hydrologic characteristics of these flows is important for understanding the effects of rare yet significant storms in the region. Flow reconstruction, ru...
