Bedrock Erosion by Debris Flows at Chalk Cliffs, Colorado, USA: Implications for Bedrock Channel Evolution [PDF]
E3S Web of Conferences, 2023 Debris flow erosion into bedrock helps to set the pace of mountain denudation, but there are few empirical observations of this process. We studied the effects of debris flows on bedrock erosion using Structure-From-Motion photogrammetry and multiple ...

Timely prediction potential of landslide early warning systems with multispectral remote sensing: a conceptual approach tested in the Sattelkar, Austria [PDF]
Natural Hazards and Earth System Sciences, 2021 While optical remote sensing has demonstrated its capabilities for landslide detection and monitoring, spatial and temporal demands for landslide early warning systems (LEWSs) had not been met until recently.

The spatial distribution of debris flows in relation to observed rainfall anomalies: Insights from the Dolan Fire, California [PDF]
E3S Web of Conferences, 2023 A range of hydrologic responses can be observed in steep, recently burned terrain, which makes predicting the spatial distribution of large debris flows challenging.

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.

The mechanics of landslide mobility with erosion
Nature Communications, 2021 Erosion can significantly increase the destructive power of a landslide by amplifying its volume, mobility and impact force. The threat posed by an erosive landslide is linked to its mobility.

A temperature- and stress-controlled failure criterion for ice-filled permafrost rock joints [PDF]
The Cryosphere, 2018 Instability and failure of high mountain rock slopes have significantly increased since the 1990s coincident with climatic warming and are expected to rise further.

Integration of meteorology and geomorphology for enhanced understanding of post-fire debris-flow hazards [PDF]
E3S Web of Conferences, 2023 Through precipitation, the fields of meteorology and geomorphology are fundamentally linked, thus interdisciplinary efforts are needed to advance understanding and warning of rainfall-driven geohazards.
