Debris flows are water-laden masses of sediment that move rapidly through channel
networks and over alluvial fans, where they can devastate people and property. Episodic …

The initial employment of tree rings in geomorphic studies was simply as a dating tool and
only rarely were other environmental information and records of damage contained within …

Trees affected by mass movements record the evidence of geomorphic disturbance in the
growth-ring series, and thereby provide a precise geochronological tool for the …

Landslides are dangerous and destructive geomorphic processes that cause annual
damage to human infrastructure or even loss of life. As recovery is very costly, knowledge of …

Debris flows are among the most important natural hazards. The Northern Calcareous Alps
with their susceptible lithology are especially affected by a double digit number of major …

Glacier lake outburst floods (GLOFs) and related debris flows are among the most significant
natural threats in the Tien Shan Mountains of Kyrgyzstan and have even caused the loss of …

The coupling relationships between hillslope and channel network are fundamental for the
understanding of mountainous landscapes' evolution. Here, we applied dendrogeomorphic …

The use of dendrochronology to study and date geomorphic processes in volcanic
environments is still incipient, even more so on the volcanic slopes covered by temperate …

In incised mountain valleys, debris flows often cause damage to vegetation, especially when
debris flows form fans or block receiving rivers. In such contexts, riparian trees may be …

Hydro-geomorphic processes have significantly influenced the recent development of valley
floors, river banks and depositional forms in mountain environments, have caused …
