Application of the 2D depth-averaged model, FLATModel, to pumiceous debris flows in the Amalfi Coast
(2018-08-29)
Article
Open AccessFew studies about modelling pumice debris flows are available in literature. An integrated approach based on field surveys and numerical modelling is here proposed. A pumiceous debris flow, which occurred in the Amalfi ... -
Assessment methodology for the prediction of landslide dam hazard
(2014-03)
Article
Open AccessThis paper represents a contribution to the study of hazard caused by the interaction between landslides and river courses. The effects of such interferences are often catastrophic and could include the formation of upstream ... -
Comparison of different hydrological and stability assumptions for physically-based modeling of shallow landslides
(Elsevier, 2023-09)
Article
Restricted access - publisher's policyPhysically-based models are reliable techniques for landslide susceptibility assessment, therefore, several models have been proposed in the literature. In this study, two different hydrological models (FSLAM and TRIGRS) ... -
Debris flow warning through radar nowcasting and critical rainfall thresholds: a case study in the Glarus catchment (Switzerland)
(Springer, 2015)
Part of book or chapter of book
Restricted access - publisher's policyThe mitigation of debris flow (DF) risk can be achieved by the means of reliable warning systems. At present time, operational warning systems are mostly based on critical rainfall thresholds (CRT) derived through the ... -
Debris flows and general steep slope shallow water flows numerical simulation
(Universitat Politècnica de Catalunya, 2011-01-24)
Doctoral thesis
Open AccessThe main target of this research is to develop a numerical model for debris flow simulations. As it is known, in general, this kind of flows occur in steeped mountain slopes. When dealing with the complete 3D physic system ... -
Debris-flow susceptibility analysis using fluvio-morphological parameters and data mining: application to the Central-Eastern Pyrenees
(2013-06)
Article
Restricted access - publisher's policyBased on debris-flow inventories and using a geographical information system, the susceptibility models presented here take into account fluvio-morphologic parameters, gathered for every first-order catchment. Data mining ... -

Conference report
Restricted access - publisher's policyCon el objetivo de proporcionar recomendaciones para la alerta temprana de fenómenos potencialmente desencadenantes de corrientes detríticas (“Debris Flow”), uno de los temas principales es la identificación preliminar de ... -
Development of preliminary assessment tools to evaluate debris flow risks
(Centro Internacional de Métodos Numéricos en Ingeniería (CIMNE), 2010)
Conference report
Open AccessIn the framework of the IMPRINTS European Research Project (FP7), a toolbox for fast assessment of debris flow hazard has been developed. The aim of this toolbox is to implement different existing models inside a common ... -
Effect of land cover and climate changes on rainfall-induced landslides: regional-scale modelling in the Val d’Aran (Pyrenees, Spain)
(International Society for Soil Mechanics and Geotechnical Engineering (ISSMGE), 2021)
Conference report
Open AccessThe analysis of the impacts of future environmental changes on rainfall-induced landslides is of great importance. Recent studies have shown that these changes will affect the frequency and magnitude of shallow slides and ... -
Experimental studies on 3D impulse waves generated by rapid landslides and debris flows
(2013)
Conference lecture
Open AccessThe input of material in a water body at high velocity, like a landslide or a debris flow, can induce a big, abnormal wave, known as impulse wave or landslide tsunami wave. Once the wave is triggered, the effects on the ... -
Fast physically-based model for rainfall-induced landslide susceptibility assessment at regional scale
(2021-06-01)
Article
Open AccessRainfall-induced landslides represent an important threat in mountainous areas. Therefore, a physically-based model called “Fast Shallow Landslide Assessment Model” (FSLAM) was developed to calculate large areas (>100 km2 ... -
FSLAM: A QGIS plugin for fast regional susceptibility assessment of rainfall-induced landslides
(Elsevier, 2022-04)
Article
Restricted access - publisher's policyShallow slope failures triggered by rainfall commonly pose considerable risks in mountainous areas. In order to delineate areas where landslides are more prone to occur within a region, we have designed and developed a ... -
High-speed debris-flows generating 2D impulse waves: Experimental analysis
(2012)
Conference report
Restricted access - publisher's policyWhen a landslide or a debris-flow falls in a water body, a big wave, known as impulse wave or landslide tsunami wave, can be generated. That phenomenon can be highly destructive and unlikely predicted, involving dams and ... -
