The landforms and deposits associated with AD 1996 debris-flows at three sites in the low-alpine zone, Jotunheimen, southern Norway, are described and analyzed. Parallel levées, composed of diamicton, occur on the valley-side slopes but distinct fron...

It is demonstrated that pronival (protalus) ramparts can be formed by a snow-push mechanism and need not accumulate in the conventional manner as a result of supranival processes. Ridges in pronival positions up to 1.2 m high and of unequivocal snow-...
