摘要
Debris transport by snow avalanches in the front ranges of the Himalayas in northern Pakistan is described using estimates of sediment concentration in avalanche snow deposits. Data were collected from two end-of-season avalanche deposits in Kaghan Valley. Sediment concentration estimates and measurements of avalanche deposit volumes are used to produce estimates of total sediment load. From these, deposit area accretion values of 0.74 and 0.21 mm for the two deposits representing the 1986-87 avalanche season are derived. -Authors
