Numerical modeling of the emplacement of Socompa rock avalanche, Chile

The 7.5 ka Socompa sector collapse emplaced 25 km 3 of fragmented rock as a thin, but widespread (500 km 2 ), avalanche deposit, followed by late stage sliding of 11 km 3 as Toreva blocks. Most of the avalanche mass was emplaced dry, although saturation of a basal shear layer cannot be excluded. Mod... View More
