Characterisation of the surface morphology of an alpine alluvial fan using airborne LiDAR [PDF]
Natural Hazards and Earth System Sciences, 2008 Alluvial fans of alpine torrents are both natural deposition areas for sediment discharged by floods and debris flows, and preferred sites for agriculture and settlements.

Geologic context of geodetic data across a Basin and Range normal fault, Crescent Valley, Nevada [PDF]
, 2004 Geodetic strain and late Quaternary faulting in the Basin and Range province is distributed over a region much wider than historic seismicity, which is localized near the margins of the province.

Evaluating the effect of geomorphology on the vegetation type and density of Foshtanq alluvial fans, Sabzevar [PDF]
جغرافیا و توسعه, 2018 There has been always an interaction between geomorphic landforms and vegetation type and density. Alluvial fans are among landforms having considerable effect on vegetation.

Geomorphology of the coastal alluvial fan complex Guanillos, northern Chile
Journal of Maps, 2019 The evolution of alluvial fans on the narrow coastal plain of the Atacama Desert in northern Chile is so far poorly investigated. Therefore, a detailed geomorphological map at a scale of 1:7500 of a coastal alluvial fan complex at Guanillos (21°58′S, 70 ...
