Alluvial and fluvial fans are the most widespread depositional landforms bordering the
margins of long-lived highland regions and actively subsiding continental basins, across a …

Flash floods and debris flows develop at space and time scales that conventional
observation systems for rainfall, streamflow and sediment discharge are not able to monitor …

Contrary to common contemporary usage, alluvial fans are a naturally unique phenomenon
readily distinguishable from other sedimentary environments, including gravel-bed rivers, on …

Debris flows, debris floods and floods in mountainous areas are responsible for loss of life
and damage to infrastructure, making it important to recognize these hazards in the early …

Debris flow frequency and magnitude were determined for 33 basins in southwest British
Columbia. Basins were first classified as either weathering‐limited or transport‐limited using …

A great number of debris flows occurred during the flood catastrophes of the summer of
1987 in the Swiss Alps. Aerial photography, field investigations and eyewitness accounts …

Upon their discovery in 2000, Martian gullies were hailed as the first proof of recent (ie less
than a few million years) flowing liquid water on the surface of a dry desert planet. Many …

Since the early work of Heim (1932) and Terzaghi (1950), landslide researchers have
striven to better understand and predict catastrophic slope failure. Despite considerable …

Alluvial fans and fan-deltas are of three basic types: those built up primarily by the action of
constantly avulsing river and stream channels, those constructed by sheet flows, and those …

This report summarizes the results of a study on the use of debris flow control structures in
forest engineering. The purposes of the study were:• to review and assess the viability and …
