By considering the integrity of microcosmic and comprehensive geomorphological features,
this article intends to develop a quantitative method for regional risk assessment of debris …

This paper calls attention to vulnerable groups that are disproportionately affected by
smaller, less-publicized debris flow events and do not always receive the advantages of …

Starting with an overview on losses due to mountain hazards in the Russian Federation and
the European Alps, the question is raised why a substantial number of events still are …

The vortex equation is often used to estimate the front velocity of debris flows using the
lateral slope of the flow surface through a channel bend of a given radius. Here we report on …

Debris flow risk comprehensively reflects the natural and social properties of debris flow
disasters and is composed of the risk of the disaster-causing body and the vulnerability of …

Despite the long tradition of technical mitigation on a catchment scale in European mountain
regions, losses due to mountain hazards are still considerably high in number and monetary …

The research focuses on the assessment of the conditions for debris flow triggering in three
very active mountain catchments. The study areas are the following: Rudan torrent (Vodo di …

Understanding the impact dynamics on buildings caused by complex fluviatile sediment
transport processes and the interaction with the exposed elements is still a major challenge …

Quantitative landslide risk assessment requires information about the temporal, spatial and
intensity probability of hazardous processes both regarding their initiation as well as their …

During the entire procedure of risk assessment for hydrologic hazards, the selection of
consistent and reliable scenarios, constructed in a strictly systematic way, is fundamental for …
