TLDR
In this paper, the authors present sediment yield data collected in 2006 for segments where hillslopes and channels form a fully connected network and contrast these with sediment yields measured for disconnected hilllopes.About:

Geomorphometric assessment of spatial sediment connectivity in small Alpine catchments
TL;DR: In this paper, a geomorphometric index based on the approach by Borselli et al. was developed and applied to assess spatial sediment connectivity in two small catchments of the Italian Alps featuring contrasting morphological characteristics.
Journal ArticleDOI
Geomorphic coupling and sediment connectivity in an alpine catchment - exploring sediment cascades using graph theory
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors present an application of mathematical graph theory to explore the network structure of coarse sediment pathways in a central alpine catchment, using numerical simulation models for rockfall, debris flows, and (hillslope and channel) fluvial processes.
Journal ArticleDOI
Direct measurement of channel erosion by debris flows, Illgraben, Switzerland
TL;DR: In this article, the authors measured the timing and magnitude of channel bed erosion by three debris flows at the Illgraben catchment, Switzerland, using a scour sensor which consisted of a vertical array of erodible sensor elements.
Journal ArticleDOI
A debris-flow alarm system for the Alpine Illgraben catchment: design and performance
TL;DR: In this article, the authors describe the development, implementation, and first analyses of a debris-flow warning system for the Illgraben catchment and debris fan area, which consists of four modules: community organizational planning (hazard awareness and preparedness), event detection and alerting, geomorphic catchment observation, and applied research to facilitate the development of an early warning system based on weather forecasting.

From gullies to mountain belts: a review of sediment budgets at various scales
TL;DR: A review of the state of the art in the concept as well as in the application of sediment budgets in sedimentary research can be found in this article, where different components of Quaternary routing systems from erosion in headwaters, river systems, glacial and paraglacial systems, lakes, deltas, estuaries, coasts, shelves, and deep-sea fans are discussed in terms of their sediment budget.

Introduction to modern photogrammetry
TL;DR: In this article, the reader is given a strong grounding in the mathematical basis of photogrammetry while introducing them to the related fields, such as remote sensing and digital image processing, which are increasingly important to photogrammetric research and practice.
Journal ArticleDOI
Landscape sensitivity and change
D. Brunsden,J. B. Thornes +1 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors examined the utility of geomorphological processes in terms of their utility for models of long-term landform evolution and summarized four fundamental propositions of landform genesis.
Journal ArticleDOI
Drainage basin responses to climate change
TL;DR: In this article, the sensitivity of watersheds to climate change is analyzed using a physically based model of drainage basin evolution, which simulates basin evolution under the action of weathering processes, hillslope transport, and fluvial bedrock erosion and sediment transport.
Journal ArticleDOI
Stochastic forcing of sediment supply to channel networks from landsliding and debris flow
Lee Benda,Thomas Dunne +1 more
TL;DR: Benda and Dunne as discussed by the authors used simulations of timing, volumes, and locations of mass wasting to study the interaction between a stochastically forced sediment supply and systematic changes of storage and flux through channel networks.
