Mudflow in the Low Alpine Region

Sulebak, Jan R. 1959. Mudflow in the Low Alpine Region. Norsk geogr. Tidsskr. 23, 15-23. A fresh mudflow in the low alpine region at Doraalen, SE Norway, is described and discussed. The discharge of the masses (150—200 m3) started as a slide but continued immediately as a flow. A medial channel, confined by deposits having the form of levees and broad tongue-like accumulations, can be followed along the track. The levees arc situated on slopes ranging from 33g (30°) to 6g (5.5°). The forms are dependent upon the consistency of the material.
