An Experimental Study on the Hydromechanical Behaviours of the Evolution of Postearthquake Landslide Deposits

Geofluids, 2019
In this study, a series of experiments of the full-scale physical model was employed to investigate the hydromechanical behaviours of the postearthquake landslide evolution, in forms of rill erosion and shallow headward failure on the rill bank slopes ...

Rapid glacier Shrinkage and Glacial Lake Expansion of a China-Nepal Transboundary Catchment in the Central Himalayas, between 1964 and 2020

Remote Sensing, 2021
Climate warming and concomitant glacier recession in the High Mountain Asia (HMA) have led to widespread development and expansion of glacial lakes, which reserved the freshwater resource, but also may increase risks of glacial lake outburst floods ...

Case study on debris-flow hazard mitigation at a world natural heritage site, Jiuzhaigou Valley, Western China

Geomatics, Natural Hazards & Risk, 2020
The Jiuzhaigou earthquake on 8 August 2017, led to a significant increase in the amount of loose, solid material, which has been a rich source of debris-flow activity. In this paper, a comprehensive debris-flow prevention and control system consisting of

Debris flow amplification in a moraine terrace and related engineering measures in the Zongzhai Valley, Southeastern Tibetan Plateau

Geomatics, Natural Hazards & Risk, 2018
Debris flows can quickly destroy basic facilities in mountainous areas, where suitable land resources are limited and towns are located on gentle slopes. To alleviate the threat of debris flows, two main approaches, based on debris storage or debris-flow
