Selected list of references to modern and ancient alluvial fan deposits

The following list of references on modern and ancient alluvial fan deposits has been compiled from an extensive review of the geologic literature. The information was collected as part of the process of preparing a summary paper on alluvial fan deposits for a memoir of the American Association of Petroleum Geologists. Although we have not examined all of the listed references, each contains information regarding alluvial fan deposits. The most important references are compiled in Tables 1 and 2, in which modern and ancient alluvial fan deposits are temporally and spatially organized. We hope that this list may be helpful to researchers studying fan deposits, and that new references will be added to the list in the future.
