espanolSe han estudiado los conos aluviales de la Ribera de Biescas, Valle del Gallego, Pirineo Central espanol, con el fin de identificar las pautas principales en la organizacion espacial de los sedimentos y determinar los rasgos mas importantes de su dinamica. El area proximal esta dominada en todos los casos estudiados por coladas de piedras, que son sustituidas aguas abajo por depositos transicionales y fluviales. La mayor o menor importancia de uno u otro tipo de facies sedimentaria se halla directamente relacionada con el tamano y pendiente del cono, asi como con la pendiente del tramo final del barranco. En terminos generales, el tamano de los sedimentos disminuye desde el apice a la zona distal, a la vez que aumenta el desgaste. Sin embargo, existen notables irregularidades en sentido longitudinal y transversal debidas sobre todo al efecto de las coladas de piedras que avanzan hacia el interior de cada cono durante los picos de crecida mas intensos. EnglishThe alluvial fans of the Ribera de Biescas, Upper Gallego Valley, Central Spanish Pyrenees, have been studied in order to identify the spatial organization of the sediment and to assess the most important features of their development. In the three alluvial fans studied the proximal area is dominated by debris flows, which are downwards substituted by transitional and fluvial deposits. The relative importance of each type of sedimentary facies is closely related with the size and gradient of the alluvial fan, as well as with the gradient in the final stretch of the ravine. In general, the size of the sediment decreases from the proximal to the distal area, while the roundness increases. Nevertheless, there are noticeable irregularities in the trend both in longitudinal and in transversal sense mainly due to the effect of debris flows advancing towards the inner part of each alluvial fan during the most intense peak-flows.
