Abstract. Alluvial fans of alpine torrents are both natural deposition areas for sediment discharged by floods and debris flows, preferred sites agriculture settlements. Hazard assessment on alluvial depends proper identification flow processes their potential intensity. This study used LiDAR data to examine the morphology fan a small stream (Moscardo Torrent, Eastern Italian Alps). A high-resolution DTM from was calculate shaded relief map, plan curvature an index topographic roughness...
Abstract. This paper describes an integrated, high-resolution dataset of hydro-meteorological variables (rainfall and discharge) concerning a number high-intensity flash floods that occurred in Europe the Mediterranean region from 1991 to 2015. type is rare scientific literature because are typically poorly observed hydrological extremes. Valuable features (hereinafter referred as EuroMedeFF database) include (i) its coverage varied hydro-climatic regions, ranging Continental through Arid...
Abstract Debris flows represent a major hazard in mountainous areas, due to their rapid motion along steep channels and the transport of large sediment volumes, including boulders. In this paper, we present data channelized debris characterized by different velocities concentrations recorded an instrumented channel reach Gadria basin (eastern Italian Alps). From analysis seismic energy produced interaction solid particles with boundaries, show that (i) peak amplitudes are representative...
Abstract. Understanding and modelling the dynamics of large wood (LW) in rivers during flood events has spurred a great deal research recent years. However, few studies have documented effect high-magnitude flash floods on LW recruitment, transport deposition. On 25 October 2011, Magra river basin (north-western Italy) was hit by an intense rainstorm, with hourly rainfall rates up to 130 mm h−1 event rain accumulations 540 8 h. Such intensities originated main channels several tributaries,...
To predict debris flow characteristics it is necessary to determine the rheological properties of these mixtures. It suggested that such a mixture can be obtained by adding successively clear water, coarser particles derived from sample material. At each addition different suspensions are considered as progressively interstitial fluids complete mixture. These easier test and their thus determined. The behavior material then inferred results. This procedure has been adopted for which occurred...
Abstract The estimation of debris‐flow magnitude is an essential step in the assessment hazard. Although different methods have been developed for magnitude, this still a difficult task because complexity flow processes and lack data to test procedures many mountainous regions. Data on from 127 basins Eastern Italian Alps collected scientific technical journals, reports, historical documents gathered local archives, field surveys. These were used develop predictive approaches, encompassing...
Abstract A model for the simulation of shallow landsliding triggered by heavy rainstorms is analysed and discussed. The applied in two mountainous catchments Dolomites (Eastern Italian Alps): Cordon catchment (5 km 2 ) Vauz (1·9 ), where field surveys provided a description hydraulic geotechnical properties soils an inventory landslide scars available. stability mapping procedure, which similar to that proposed Montgomery Dietrich (1994 Water Resources Research 30 : 1153), combines...
