Nazca Geoglyph System: Geospatial and Hydraulic Research Report

Year: 2026

Type: article

Abstract: This record contains a technical research dossier presenting a quantitativegeospatial and hydraulic analysis of the Nazca geoglyph system in southern Peru.The work evaluates a testable functional hypothesis in which the geoglyphs areinterpreted as components of a landscape-scale hydraulic infrastructure designedto regulate surface flow, dissipate hydraulic energy, and enhance sedimentationand subsurface infiltration in an extreme arid environment. The dossier includes geospatial measurements, statistical analysis, and classicalhydraulic modeling. It is released for purposes of open scientific documentation,reproducibility, and priority registration. This document has not been peer reviewedand is not formatted as a journal article.
