Debris flow and debris flood phenomena threat the life of thousands of citizens living in
mountain areas and endanger buildings and infrastructure worldwide. The assessment of …

Coseismic landslides pose immediate and prolonged hazards to mountainous communities,
and provide a rare opportunity to study the effect of large earthquakes on erosion and …

Debris flow is a type of natural disaster characterized by sudden outbreaks, rapid movement,
short duration, and extreme destructive power, posing a serious threat to human lives and …

The concurrence of flash floods and debris flows is of particular concern, because it may
amplify the hazard corresponding to the individual generative processes. This paper …

Debris flows are fast‐moving gravity flows of poorly sorted rock and soil, mixed and
saturated with water. Debris‐flow initiation has been studied using empirical and …

In the upper part of mountain river catchments, large amounts of loose debris produced by
mass-wasting processes can accumulate at the base of slopes and cliffs. Sudden …

Geomorphometry, the science of quantitative land-surface analysis, has become a
flourishing interdisciplinary subject, with applications in numerous fields. The …

Thousands of landslides occurred during the April 2015 Gorkha earthquake in Nepal.
Previous work using satellite imagery mapped nearly 25,000 coseismic landslides. In this …

Debris flows are one of the most destructive sediment transport processes in mountainous
areas because of their large volume, high velocity, and kinematic energy. Debris flow activity …

Mountain rivers can be the place of very intense sediment transport which has the potential
to strongly shape the landscape and impact the safety of inhabited areas. However, our …
