Atmospheric circulation patterns, cloud-to-ground lightning, and locally intense convective rainfall associated with debris flow initiation in the Dolomite Alps of northeastern Italy [PDF]
, 2015 The Dolomite Alps of northeastern Italy experience debris flows with great frequency during the summer months. An ample supply of unconsolidated material on steep slopes and a summer season climate regime characterized by recurrent thunderstorms combine ...

Experimental study of regulation performance of open flexible debris flow barriers
Rock and Soil Mechanics, 2022 Flexible debris flow barriers are important engineering measures to prevent debris flow disasters. The existing prevention structures are mainly in the form of closed barriers, which are prone to blockage with poor regulation abilities.

Forecasting the Frequency and Magnitude of Postfire Debris Flows Across Southern California
Earth's Future, 2021 Southern California has a long history of damaging debris flows after wildfire. Despite recurrent loss, forecasts of the frequency and magnitude of postfire debris flows are not available for the region like they are for earthquakes. Instead, debris flow

Effects of obstacle structures on the movement and deposition of debris flows in storage basins
Geomatics, Natural Hazards & RiskStorage basins are among the main engineering measures used in debris flow mitigation engineering, but many storage basins lack engineering measures for decreasing the velocity and dissipating the energy of debris flows.

Numerical simulation of debris flows triggered from the Strug rock fall source area, W Slovenia [PDF]
, 2006 The Strug landslide was triggered in December 2001 as a rockslide, followed by a rock fall. In 2002, about 20 debris flows were registered in the Kosec village; they were initiated in the Strug rock fall source area.
