Abstract

The principal aspects addressed are the relationships between transport processes and de‐positional environments, and the sedimentary properties of the deposits. The following ‘process‐product’ models are discussed: (a) stone‐banked solifluction sheets or lobes, (b) dry grain flows and frost‐coated clast flows, (c) debris flows, and (d) niveo‐aeolian transport within the context of talus development. Problems of convergence, the possible role of other processes, and the climatic significance of stratified slope deposits are briefly discussed. Cet article traite des modèles concernant la genèse et l'interprétation environnementale des dépǒts de versant stratifiés. Les relations des mécanismes de transport avec, d'une part, les milieux de sédimentation et, d'autre part, les caractéristiques sédimentologiques, sont décrites. Toutes les données présentées ici proviennent d'études réalisées en milieux actifs. Les modèles génétiques et sédimentologiques traités sont les suivants: (a) nappe‐coulées et lobes de solifluxion à front pierreux, (b) coulées de pierres sèches et coulées de pierres glacées, (c) flots de débris, et (d) transport nivéo‐éolien sur un talus. A la fin de cet article, sont évoqués les problèmes de convergence, le rǒle possible de mécanismes sédimentaires non intégrés dans les modèles, ainsi que le problème de la signification climatique des dépǒts stratifiés. Ce bilan global peut done servir de base introductive à l'interprétation de cas concrets.
