A robust method to identify the occurrence of a runoff-generated debris flow [PDF]

E3S Web of Conferences, 2023
Debris flows generated by rainfall runoff can occur in rocky alpine landscapes and burned steeplands. Runoff-generated debris-flow events are commonly composed of a series of dense granular surge fronts separated by water-rich flows.

STEPS: Slip Time Earthquake Path Simulations Applied to the San Andreas and Toe Jam Hill Faults to Redefine Geologic Slip Rate Uncertainty

Geochemistry, Geophysics, Geosystems, 2021
Geologic slip rates are a time‐averaged measurement of fault displacement calculated over hundreds to million‐year time scales and are a primary input for probabilistic seismic hazard analyses, which forecast expected ground shaking in future earthquakes.
