The fluvial-aeolian interaction environment in the Guandacol valley in northwest Argentina was studied using various methods, identifying several depositional subenvironments and architectural elements, serving as a potential analogue for studying ancient fluvial-aeolian interaction environments.
The fluvial-aeolian interaction field of the Guandacol valley (northwest Argentina) is studied through different methodologies that comprise satellite, drone and GPR images, bedform descriptions, and grain-size analysis. The obtained information allowed the recognition of five depositional subenvironments: 1. Dune patches; 2. Aeolian sand sheets; 3. Muddy plains; 4. Active channels; and 5. Abandoned and secondary channels. Moreover, the lithofacies pattern, sedimentary structures and geometry of the beds permitted the definition of ten architectural elements in both channel and interchannel areas. The channel architectural elements comprise active channels with intercalations of aeolian deposits (CHe), abandoned or secondary channels (CHa), aeolian sand ramp (CHsr), lateral bars (CHlb), and aeolian mesoforms (CHem). The architectural elements in the interchannel area include active dunes (Fad), fixed or low-migration rate dunes (Fsd), partially flooded interdunes (Ffd), sandy flats (Fsf), and muddy plains (Fmp). A model of the evolution of fluvial-aeolian interaction environment is proposed in which three types are recognized: dry, intermediate, and wet. Migratory dunes and sand sheets environments dominate the dry interaction systems in the floodplain (Fad, Fsf). At the same time, during the intermediate stage, Fsd and Fsf architectures prevail, together with fluvial bars with thin aeolian intercalations into the channels (CHe and CHa). The wet systems consist of flooded interdunes, muddy plains, and different types of aeolian mesoforms in the channel (Fmp, Ffd and CHem).The analysis of present-day depositional subenvironments in the Guandacol valley and the definition of architectural elements serve as a potential analogue for studying ancient fluvial-aeolian interaction environments.
