Fan‐surface evidence for debris‐flow avulsion controls and probabilities, Saline Valley, California (2019)
Journal Article
Haas, T., Densmore, A., Hond, T., & Cox, N. (2019). Fan‐surface evidence for debris‐flow avulsion controls and probabilities, Saline Valley, California. Journal of Geophysical Research: Earth Surface, 124(5), 1118-1138. https://doi.org/10.1029/2018jf004815
