    Fluid effects in model granular flows

    Pore fluid plays a crucial role in many granular flows, especially those in geophysical settings. However, the transition in behaviour between dry flows and fully saturated flows and the underlying physics tha...

    Infrasound produced by debris flow: propagation and frequency content evolution

    Rapid mass movements such as avalanches, debris flows, and rock fall are periodic or episodic phenomena that occur in alpine regions. Recent studies have shown that debris flows generate characteristic signals...

    Measurements of hillslope debris flow impact pressure on obstacles

    We present measurements of hillslope debris flow impact pressures on small obstacles. Two impact sensors have been installed in a real-scale experimental site where 50 m3 of water-saturated soil material are rele...

    A debris-flow alarm system for the Alpine Illgraben catchment: design and performance

    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 catchment (9.5 km2), located in th...
