Debris flows represent one of the most dangerous types of mass movements, because of
their high velocities, large impact forces and long runout distances. This review describes …

This paper reviews the state of the art in the concept as well as in the application of sediment
budgets in sedimentary research. Sediments are a product of mass dispersal at the Earth …

Complex and rugged topography induces large variations in erosion and sediment delivery
in the headwaters of alpine catchments. An effective connection of hillslopes with the …

Climate change impacts on sediment production and transfer processes on hillslopes and
through channels are governed by possible changes in precipitation, runoff, and air …

Debris flows can grow greatly in size and hazardous potential by eroding bed and bank
materials. However, erosion mechanisms are poorly understood because debris flows are …

Through their relevance for sediment budgets and the sensitivity of geomorphic systems,
geomorphic coupling and (sediment) connectivity represent important topics in …

The timing and magnitude of channel bed erosion by three debris flows was measured in
2008 at the Illgraben catchment, Switzerland, using a scour sensor which consisted of a …

Automatic identification of debris flow signals in continuous seismic records remains a
challenge. To tackle this problem, we use machine learning, which can be applied to …

Sediment connectivity within a catchment depends largely on the morphological complexity
of the catchment and is strictly related to the anthropogenic modification of the landscape. In …

We describe the development, implementation, and first analyses of the performance of a
debris-flow warning system for the Illgraben catchment and debris fan area. The Illgraben …
