Evolution of debris‐flow initiation mechanisms and sediment sources during a sequence of postwildfire rainstorms
Wildfire alters vegetation cover and soil hydrologic properties, substantially increasing the
likelihood of debris flows in steep watersheds. Our understanding of initiation mechanisms …

Seismic characterization of debris flows: Insights into energy radiation and implications for warning
Debris flows represent a major hazard in mountainous areas, due to their rapid motion along
steep channels and to the transport of large sediment volumes, including large boulders. In …

Estimating rates of debris flow entrainment from ground vibrations
Debris flows generate seismic waves as they travel downslope and can become more
dangerous as they entrain sediment along their path. We present field observations that …

Monitoring the role of soil hydrologic conditions and rainfall for the triggering of torrential flows in the Rebaixader catchment (Central Pyrenees, Spain) Role of soil …
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 …

Critical rainfall conditions for the initiation of torrential flows. Results from the Rebaixader catchment (Central Pyrenees)
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 …
