Flood hazard assessment is a fundamental step in flood risk mapping. Quantitative
assessment requires hydrodynamic modelling of the flooding process in order to calculate …

Many different runout prediction methods can be applied to estimate the mobility of future
debris flows during hazard assessment. The present article reviews the empirical, analytical …

Rainfall-induced landslides represent an important threat in mountainous areas. Therefore,
a physically-based model called “Fast Shallow Landslide Assessment Model”(FSLAM) was …

This paper presents recommended methodologies for the quantitative analysis of landslide
hazard, vulnerability and risk at different spatial scales (site-specific, local, regional and …

The seventh edition of Environmental Hazards provides a much expanded and fully up-to-
date overview of all the extreme environmental events that threaten people and what they …

In the Wenchuan area in SW China, an abundance of loose co-seismic landslide debris was
present on the slopes after the Wenchuan earthquake, which in later years served as source …

This study investigates the interaction between dry debris flows and a rigid barrier through
discrete element modeling (DEM) of flume tests. The debris materials were modeled as an …

Abstract The Wenchuan earthquake of May 12, 2008 produced large amounts of loose
material (landslide debris) that are still present on the steep slopes and in the gullies. This …

Massive debris flows or rock avalanches falling into a water reservoir may cause devastating
hazards such as overtopping or dam breakage. This paper presents a coupled …

On 7 August 2010, catastrophic debris flows were triggered by a rainstorm in the catchments
of the Sanyanyu and Luojiayu torrents, Zhouqu County, Gansu Province northwestern …
