Journal ArticleDOI
The physics of debris flows
TL;DR: In this paper, a simple model that satisfies most of these criteria uses depth-averaged equations of motion patterned after those of the Savage-Hutter theory for gravity-driven flow of dry granular masses but generalized to include the effects of viscous pore fluid with varying pressure.
Journal ArticleDOI
The physical character of subaqueous sedimentary density flows and their deposits
Thierry Mulder,Jan Alexander +1 more
TL;DR: A simple classification of sedimentary density flows, based on physical flow properties and grain-support mechanisms, and briefly discusses the likely characteristics of the deposited sediments is presented in this paper.
Journal ArticleDOI
Landslide inventories and their statistical properties
TL;DR: In this article, the authors examined three well-documented landslide events, from Italy, Guatemala and the USA, each with a different triggering mechanism, and found that the landslide areas for all three are well approximated by the same three-parameter inverse-gamma distribution.
Journal ArticleDOI
Debris-flow mobilization from landslides
TL;DR: In this article, a review emphasizes models in which debris behavior evolves in response to changing pore pressures and granular temperatures, and quantifies how pore pressure and temperature can influence the behavior of debris flows.

TL;DR: In this paper, an intensive data compilation has been carried out for seven European hydrometeorological regions to assess the possible ranges for peak discharges on watersheds with area smaller than 500 km2 and to describe the geography of the hazard across Europe.
