Torrential flows (debris flows and debris floods) are mainly triggered by precipitation and soil
hydrological processes. Most early warning systems in torrential catchments are rainfall …

The instrumental monitoring of torrential catchments is a fundamental research task that
provides necessary information to improve our understanding of the mechanisms of debris …

Torrential flows like debris flows or debris floods are fast movements formed by a mix of
water and different amounts of unsorted solid material. They generally occur in steep …

The debris flow (DF) and debris flood (DFD) activity in the Rebaixader catchment (Spanish
Pyrenees) is analyzed in this study. The research is focused on how precipitation leads to …

The peak runoff discharge plays an important role in triggering channelized debris flows,
especially for small catchments, due to the features of a small area and short channels. In …

High‐intensity and short‐duration rainfalls can generate sudden and abundant runoff at the
base of rocky cliffs that, entraining sediments, may originate debris flows. Two gauge …

Estimation of rainfall intensity–duration thresholds, used for the identification of debris
flow/landslide triggering rainfall events, has been traditionally based on raingauge …

Landslides are one of the most serious geomorphological hazards in Asturias (NW Spain),
where their temporal forecasting constitutes a key issue. The present work uses 559 records …

Identifying the minimum rainfall thresholds necessary for landslides triggering is essential to
landslide risk assessment. The Italian Alps have always been affected by shallow landslides …

Soil moisture plays a vital role in slope stability. As water infiltrates into the soil, shear
strength decreases eventually leading to failure. However, most of the existing regional …
