Large Fluvial Fans: Aspects of the Attribute ArrayIn arguing for a strict definition of the alluvial fan (coarse‐grained with radii less than10 km, in mountain‐front settings), Blair and McPherson (1994) proposed that there is no meaningful difference between large fluvial fans (LFF) and floodplains, because the building blocks of both are channel‐levee‐overbank deposits. Sediment bodies at the LFF scale (greater than 100 km long, fan‐shaped in planform), are relatively unstudied although greater than 160 are now identified globally. The following perspectives suggest that the significance of LFF needs to be reconsidered.
