EROSION AFTER AN EXTREME STORM EVENT IN AN ARID FLUVIAL SYSTEM OF THE SOUTHERN ATACAMA DESERT: AN ASSESSMENT OF THE MAGNITUDE, RETURN TIME, AND CONDITIONING FACTORS OF EROSION AND DEBRIS FLOW GENERATION

Erosion after an extreme storm event in an arid fluvial system of the southern Atacama Desert: an assessment of the magnitude, return time, and conditioning factors of erosion and debris flow generation

The contribution of an individual extreme storm event to long-term erosion rates has been estimated for the first time in the Atacama Desert.A mean erosion of 1.3 mm has been calculated for the March 2015 event that impacted the southernmost part of the Atacama Desert.The estimated erosion is consistent with millennial erosion rates and the
