Abstract Slope Stability Models (SSMs) are valuable tools used as decision support in land
management to mitigate catastrophic effects caused by rainfall-induced shallow landslides …

Flow-like landslides, such as debris flows and rock avalanches, travel at extremely rapid
velocities and can impact large areas far from their source. When hazards like these are …

This study describes an investigation of channel-bed entrainment of sediment by debris
flows. An entrainment model, developed using field data from debris flows at the Illgraben …

Over the last decade, several flood inundation models based on a reduced complexity
approach have been developed and successfully applied in a wide range of practical cases …

Publisher Summary This chapter discusses the gravity processes and deposits on
continental slope, rise, and abyssal plains. The impact on human infrastructure helps in …

The occurrence of debris flows has been recorded for more than a century in the European
Alps, accounting for the risk to settlements and other human infrastructure that have led to …

The wide range of both spatial and temporal scales distinguishes landslide processes
significantly from other natural processes such as floods, earthquake shaking or tsunamis …

Debris-flow volumes can increase due to the incorporation of sediment into the flow as a
consequence of channel-bed erosion along the flow path. This study describes a sensitivity …

Despite recent advances in quantifying land-use/cover change (LUCC) transition potential,
transition rules are often not transparent and uncertainty is rarely made explicit. Here, we …

Debris flows and landslides induced by heavy rainfall represent an ubiquitous and
destructive natural hazard in steep mountainous regions. For debris flows initiated by …
