Models for the genetic and environmental interpretation of stratified slope deposits: Review
Abstract The principal aspects addressed are the relationships between transport processes and de‐positional environments, and the sedimentary properties of the deposits. The following ‘process‐product’ models are discussed: (a) stone‐banked solifluction sheets or lobes, (b) dry grain flows and fros...

| Summary: | Abstract The principal aspects addressed are the relationships between transport processes and de‐positional environments, and the sedimentary properties of the deposits. The following ‘process‐product’ models are discussed: (a) stone‐banked solifluction sheets or lobes, (b) dry grain flows and frost‐coated clast flows, (c) debris flows, and (d) niveo‐aeolian transport within the context of talus development. Problems of convergence, the possible role of other processes, and the climatic significance of stratified slope deposits are briefly discussed. |
