Effect of density and total weight on flow depth, velocity, and stresses in loess debris flows
(2018-12)
Article.
Accés obert
Article.
Accés obert
Debris flows that involve loess material produce important damage around the world. However, the kinematics of such processes are poorly understood. To better understand these kinematics, we used a flume to measure the ...
Analysis of rockfalls by means of a fractal fragmentation model
(2020-03)
Article.
Accés obert
Article.
Accés obert
We present the performance of the rockfall fractal fragmentation model (RFFM) developed by Ruiz-Carulla et al. (Landslides 14(3):875–889. doi.org/10.1007/s10346-016-0773-8, 2017) and based on Perfect (Eng Geol 48:185–198, ...
Field and laboratory analysis of the runout characteristics of hillslope debris flows in Switzerland
(2015-03)
Article.
Accés obert
Article.
Accés obert
Hillslope debris flows are unconfined flows that originate by shallow failures in unconsolidated material at steep slopes. In spite of their significant hazard for persons and infrastructure in mountainous regions, research ...
Application of a fuzzy verification framework for the evaluation of a regional-scale landslide early warning system during the January 2020 Gloria storm in Catalonia (NE Spain)
(2022-07)
Article.
Accés obert
Article.
Accés obert
The Gloria storm rainfalls affected Catalonia from 20 to 23 January 2020 and triggered multiple landslides, some of which affected buildings and infrastructures (such as roads and railways). This paper presents the rainfall ...
Calculation of the rockwall recession rate of a limestone cliff, affected by rockfalls, using cosmogenic chlorine-36: case study of the Montsec range (Eastern Pyrenees, Spain)
(2018-04)
Article.
Accés obert
Article.
Accés obert
Cliff erosion may be a major problem in settled areas affecting populations and producing economic and ecological losses. In this paper we present a procedure to calculate the long-term retreat rate of a cliff affected by ...
Recommendations for the quantitative analysis of landslide risk
(2014-05)
Article.
Accés obert
Article.
Accés obert
This paper presents recommended methodologies for the quantitative analysis of landslide hazard, vulnerability and risk at different spatial scales (site-specific, local, regional and national), as well as for the verification ...
DebrisInterMixing-2.3: a Finite Volume solver for three dimensional debris flow simulations based on a single calibration parameter – Part 2: Model validation
(2015-08)
Article.
Accés obert
Article.
Accés obert
Here we present the validation of the fluid dynamic solver presented in part one of this work (von Boetticher et al., 2015), simulating laboratory-scale and large-scale debris-flow experiments. The material properties of ...
Impacts of future climate and land cover changes on landslide susceptibility: regional scale modelling in the Val d’Aran region (Pyrenees, Spain)
(2022-01)
Article.
Accés obert
Article.
Accés obert
It is widely accepted that future environmental changes will affect rainfall-induced shallow slides in high-mountain areas. In this study, the Val d’Aran region located in the Central Pyrenees was selected to analyze and ...
Drone-based identification of erosive processes in open-pit mining restored areas
(Multidisciplinary Digital Publishing Institute (MDPI), 2022-02)
Article.
Accés obert
Article.
Accés obert
Unmanned Aerial Systems, or drones, are very helpful tools for managing open-pit mining operations and developing ecological restoration activities. This article presents a method for identifying water erosion processes ...
Rockfalls: analysis of the block fragmentation through field experiments
(2022-05)
Article.
Accés obert
Article.
Accés obert
Fragmentation is a common feature of rockfall that exerts a strong control on the trajectories of the generated blocks, the impact energies, and the runout. In this paper, we present a set of four real-scale rockfall tests ...
