Debris-flow deposit in the 2024 South Fork Fire burn area
Detailed Description
A poorly-sorted, debris-flow levee deposited during a rain event following the 2024 South Fork Fire. Levees form at the margins of debris flows are matrix-supported, and comprised of variably-sized sediment. Levees are useful for field identification of debris flow deposits and help to differentiate them from flood deposits. This photo was taken approximately 4 months following the fire.
