Nazca Geoglyph System: Geospatial and Hydraulic Research Report
Description
This record contains a technical research dossier presenting a quantitative
geospatial and hydraulic analysis of the Nazca geoglyph system in southern Peru.
The work evaluates a testable functional hypothesis in which the geoglyphs are
interpreted as components of a landscape-scale hydraulic infrastructure designed
to regulate surface flow, dissipate hydraulic energy, and enhance sedimentation
and subsurface infiltration in an extreme arid environment.
The dossier includes geospatial measurements, statistical analysis, and classical
hydraulic modeling. It is released for purposes of open scientific documentation,
reproducibility, and priority registration. This document has not been peer reviewed
and is not formatted as a journal article.
