Kuskonook Creek, an example of a debris flow analysis 总被引：1，自引：0，他引：1
Two debris flows occurred on Kuskonook Creek in British Columbia, Canada, in August and September 2004. The initiation factors
included a major forest fire in the catchment in 2003, in association with relatively small rainfall events and the accumulation
of sediment in the creek channels since the last large debris flow event. Previous regional studies and morphometric comparisons
with other similar catchments indicate that Kuskonook Creek has characteristics predisposed to debris flows, even without
the affects of a forest fire. Based on the investigations and analyses, a magnitude/frequency relationship for future debris
events on Kuskonook Creek was developed, and this information was used to carry out a partial risk assessment. It is suggested
that for design purposes, a 1/50-year return period and the corresponding debris flow magnitude of 15,000 m3 would provide conservative protection to the users of the provincial highway at the mouth of the creek. 相似文献

Water quality of two streams near Yellowstone Park, Wyoming, following the 1988 Clover-Mist wildfire
In 1988, wildfire burned over 50% of the Jones Creek watershed near Yellowstone Park, Wyoming. Crow Creek, an adjacent watershed,
was unburned. Water quality data collected from 1989–1993 may show the fire's effect on weathering and nutrient transport.
Jones Creek had 25–75% larger concentrations of dissolved solids than Crow Creek during the sampling period. Both streams
revealed molar ratios consistent with the stoichiometry of andesine and pyroxene hydrolysis in the trachyandesites that underlie
the basins. During 1989, nitrate transported from the unburned Crow Creek basin peaked at 2 mmol ha–1 s–1. This was twice as much as Jones Creek, possibly indicating a source from ash fallout. By 1992 these rates diminished to
0.1 mmol ha–1 s–1 in Crow Creek and increased to 1.8 mmol ha–1 s–1 in Jones Creek, suggesting later nitrate mobilization in the burned watershed. Phosphorus transported from Jones Creek basin
averaged 0.011 mmol ha–1 s–1 during summer 1989, but fell to 0.004 mg ha–1 s–1 in subsequent years.

Rock avalanches fell from Vampire (2,645 m) Peak in the Southern Alps of New Zealand during January 2008. There were no direct
witnesses, casualties or damage to infrastructure. Field observations indicate about 150,000 m3 (±50,000) of indurated greywacke collapsed retrogressively from a 73° slope between 2,380 and 2,520 m. Debris fell 800 m
down Vampire’s south face and out 1.7 km across Mueller Glacier, with a 27.5° angle of reach. The resulting 300,000 m2 avalanche deposit contains three distinct lobes. The national seismograph network recorded two pulses of avalanche-type shaking,
equivalent in amplitude to a M
L 2.4 tectonic earthquake, for 60 s on Monday 7 January at 2349 hours (NZDT); then 45 s of shaking at M
L 2.5 on Sunday 13 January at 0923 hours (NZDT). Deposit lobes are inferred to relate directly with shaking episodes. The avalanche
fell across the debris from an older avalanche, which was also unwitnessed and fell from a different source on Vampire’s south
face between February and November 2003. The 2003 avalanche involved 120,000 m3 (±40,000) of interlayered sandstone and mudstone which collapsed from a 65° slope between 2,440 and 2,560 m, then fell 890 m
down across Mueller Glacier at a 24° angle of reach. Prolonged above-freezing temperatures were recorded during January 2008,
but no direct trigger has been identified. The event appears to be a spontaneous, gravitationally induced, stress failure. 相似文献

A geotechnical investigation of the retrogressive Yaka Landslide and the debris flow threatening the town of Yaka (Isparta,SW Turkey) 总被引：2，自引：1，他引：1
In this study the factors affecting the retrogressive Yaka Landslide, its mechanism and the hazard of debris flow on the town of Yaka are investigated. In the landslide area, the first landslide was small and occurred in March 2006 on the lower part of the Alaard?ç Slope near the Gelendost District town of Yaka (Isparta, SW Turkey). The second, the Yaka Landslide, was large and occurred on 19 February 2007 in the soil-like marl on the central part of Alaard?ç Slope. The geometry of the failure surface was circular and the depth of the failure surface was about 3 m. Following the landslide, a 85,800 m3 of displaced material transformed to a debris flow. Then, the debris flow moved down the Eglence Valley, traveling a total distance of about 750 m. The town of Yaka is located 1,600 m downstream of Eglence Creek and hence poses a considerable risk of debris flow, should the creek be temporarily dammed as a result of further mass movement. Material from the debris accumulation has been deposited on the base of Eglence Valley and has formed a debris-dam lake behind a debris dam. Trees, agricultural areas, and weirs in the Eglence Creek have seen serious damage resulting from the debris flow. The slope angle, slope aspect and elevation of the area in this study were generated using a GIS-based digital elevation model (DEM). The stability of the Alaard?ç Slope was assessed using limit equilibrium analysis with undrained peak and residual shear strength parameters. In the stability analyses, laboratory test results performed on the soil-like marls were used. It was determined that the Alaard?ç Slope is found to be stable under dry conditions and unstable under completely saturated conditions. The Alaard?ç Slope and its vicinity is a paleolandslide area, and there the factor of safety for sliding was found to be about 1.0 under saturated conditions. The Alaard?ç Slope and the deposited earthen materials in Eglence Creek could easily be triggered into movement by any factors or combination of factors, such as prolonged or heavy rainfall, snowmelt or an earthquake. It was established that the depth of the debris flow initiated on the Yaka Landslide reached up to 8 m in Eglence Creek at the point it is 20 m wide. If this deposited material in Eglence Creek is set into motion, the canal that passes through Yaka, with its respective width and depth of 7 and 1.45 m, could not possibly discharge the flow. The destruction or spillover of this canal in Yaka could bring catastrophic loss to residents which are located within 3–5 m of the bank of the canal. Furthermore, if material present in the landslide source area slides and this displaced material puts pressure on the unstable deposited material in Eglence Creek, even more catastrophic loss would occur to the town of Yaka. In this study, it was determined that debris flows are still a major hazard to Yaka and its population of 3,000. The results provided in this study could help citizens, planners, and engineers to reduce losses caused by existing and future landslides and debris flow in rainfall and snowmelt conditions by means of prevention and mitigation. 相似文献

The mineralized district of SW England was one of the world's greatest mining areas, with mining commencing in the Bronze age, peaking in the 1850s to 1890s, but still continuing to the present day. Consequently, it is not surprising that mining has had a major impact on the environmental geochemistry of SW England. In this study, the mineralogical and geochemical signature of mine waste contamination within the Fal Estuary at Tresillian, Cornwall, has been examined. A pulse of mine waste contamination is recognized at approximately 50?cm below present day sediment surface. Sn, As, Cu, Pb, and Zn are all enriched within this contaminated interval with up to 1800 mg?kg–1 Sn, 290 mg?kg–1 As, 508 mg?kg–1 Pb, 2210 mg?kg–1 Zn, and 1380 mg?kg–1 Cu. Within this interval, the dominant minerals present include chalcopyrite, arsenopyrite, pyrite, cassiterite, Fe–Ti oxides (ilmenite and ?rutile), wolframite, sphalerite, baryte, zircon, monazite, tourmaline and xenotime. In addition, man-made slag products commonly occur. The exact timing of the release of mine waste into the estuary is poorly constrained, but probably occurred during or immediately following the peak in mining activity in the nearby Camborne-Redruth district, which was between 1853 and 1893. The mine waste may have entered the estuary either via the Tresillian River and its tributaries or via Calenick Creek and the Truro River and/or the Carnon River which flows into Rostronguet Creek. 相似文献

Integrating uncertainty: Canyon Creek hyperconcentrated flows of November 1989 and 1990 总被引：1，自引：0，他引：1
Canyon Creek drains a 79 km2 watershed in northwestern Washington State. Extensive logging occurred from the mid-1960s to 1980s, which resulted in numerous
slope instabilities and a several order of magnitude increase in sediment supply to the creek. On November 9, 1989, a hyperconcentrated
flow with a peak discharge of 450 m3/s destroyed one house on the fan. A forensic investigation of the event suggests that a temporary landslide dam may have
formed at two coalescing earthflows about 4 km above the fan apex. The 1989 hyperconcentrated flow caused significant aggradation
on the fan. One year later to the day, a significant flood occurred, which ran over the aggraded fan surface from the 1989
event. This latter event destroyed four more homes mostly through bank erosion and rendered a section of county road impassable.
FLDWAV, a flood routing model capable of simulating unsteady flow conditions, was used to model landslide dam breaches for
a number of different dam heights at the earthflows. Modeling results were then combined with historic air photograph interpretation,
dendrochronology, and eyewitness accounts to construct a frequency–magnitude relationship for hyperconcentrated flows at Canyon
Creek. FLDWAV results were combined with a hyperconcentrated flow runout model (FLO-2D) on the fan to estimate maximum flow
depth and flow velocity for the design event, a 500-year return period with a predicted peak discharge of 710 m3/s. A large range of mitigation measures were reviewed, but it was concluded that buy-outs would be the most effective risk
reduction measure. Property acquisition commenced in 2004. 相似文献

We examine the magnitude, frequency, and precipitation threshold of the extreme flood hazard on 37 low-order streams in the lower Stehekin River Valley on the arid eastern slope of the North Cascades. Key morphometric variables identify the magnitude of the hazard by differentiating debris flood from debris flow systems. Thirty-two debris flow systems are fed by basins?<?6 km2 and deposited debris cones with slopes?>?10°. Five debris flood systems have larger drainage areas and debris fans with slopes 7–10°. The debris flood systems have Melton ruggedness ratios from 0.42–0.64 compared to 0.78–3.80 for debris flow basins. We record stratigraphy at seven sites where soil surfaces buried by successive debris flows limit the age of events spanning 6000 years. Eighteen radiocarbon ages from the soils are the basis for estimates of a 200 to1500-year range in recurrence interval for larger debris flows and a 450?±?50-year average. Smaller events occur approximately every 100 years. Fifteen debris flows occurred in nine drainage systems in the last 15 years, including multiple flows on three streams. Summer storms in 2010 and 2013 with peak rainfall intensities of 7–9 mm/h sustained for 8–11 h triggered all but one flow; the fall 2015 event on Canyon Creek occurred after 170 mm of rain in 78 h. A direct link between fires and debris flows is unclear because several recent debris flows occurred in basins that did not burn or burned at low intensity, and basins that burned at high intensity did not carry debris flows. All but one of the recent flows and fires occurred on the valley’s southwest-facing wall. We conclude that fires and debris flows are linked by aspect at the landscape scale, where the sunny valley wall has flashy runoff due to sparse vegetation from frequent fires.

The syn-tectonic breccia-hosted Mount Isa Cu deposit in northwest Queensland is the largest sediment-hosted Cu deposit in
Australia. Whole-rock samples of chalcopyrite-rich Cu ore form an isochron with a Re–Os age of 1,372 ± 41 Ma. This age is
more than 100 Ma younger than the previously accepted age of Cu ore formation, an Ar–Ar mineral age for biotite separated
from the host rocks within the alteration envelope to the Cu orebody. This discrepancy cannot be unequivocally resolved due
to a lack of other absolute geochronological constraints for Cu mineralisation or the deformation event associated with Cu
emplacement. The 1,372 ± 41 Ma date may reflect (a) the time of Cu deposition, (b) the time of a hydrothermal event that reset
the Re–Os signature of the Cu ore or (c) mixing of the Re–Os isotope systematics between the host rocks and Cu-bearing fluids.
However, a range of published Ar–Ar and Rb–Sr dates for potassic alteration associated with Cu mineralisation also records
an event between 1,350 and 1,400 Ma and these are consistent with the 1,372 Ma Re–Os age. The 1.8 Ga Eastern Creek Volcanics
are a series of tholeiitic basalts with a primary magmatic Cu enrichment which occur adjacent to the Mount Isa Cu deposit.
The whole-rock Os isotopic signature of the Eastern Creek Volcanics ranges from mantle-like values for the upper Pickwick
Member, to more radiogenic/crustal values for the lower Cromwell Member. The Re–Os isotope signature of the Cu ores overlaps
with those calculated for the two volcanic members at 1,372 Ma; hence, the Os isotope data are supportive of the concept that
the Os in the Cu ores was sourced from the Eastern Creek Volcanics. By inference, it is therefore postulated that the Eastern
Creek Volcanics are the source of Cu in the Mount Isa deposit, as both Os and Cu are readily transported by oxidised hydrothermal
fluids, such as those that are thought to have formed the Cu orebody. The Pickwick Member yields a Re–Os isochron age of 1,833 ± 51 Ma,
which is within error of previously reported age constraints. The initial 187Os/188Os isotopic ratio of 0.114 ± 0.067 (γOs = −0.7) is slightly subchondritic, and together with other trace element geochemical
constraints, is consistent with a subcontinental lithospheric mantle source. The Pickwick Member records a minimum age of
ca. 1.95 Ga for melt depletion in the subcontinental lithospheric mantle beneath the Mount Isa Inlier prior to the extraction
of the magmas which formed the Eastern Creek Volcanics. This corresponds with the end of subduction-related magmatism along
the eastern margin of the Northern Australian Craton, which included the Mount Isa Inlier. 相似文献

The Todagin Creek landslide is located at 57.61° N 129.98° W in Northwest British Columbia. A seismic station 90 km north
of the landslide recorded the event at 1643 hours coordinated universal time (UTC; 0943 hours Pacific daylight time (PDT))
on October 3, 2006. The signal verifies the discovery and relative time bounds provided by a hunting party in the valley.
The landslide initiated as a translational rock slide on sedimentary rock dipping down slope at 34° and striking parallel
to the valley. The landslide transformed into a debris avalanche and had a total volume estimated at 4 Mm3. An elevation drop of 771 m along a planar length of 1,885 m resulted in a travel angle (fahrb?schung) of 21.3°. The narrowest
part of the landslide through the transport zone is 345 m. The widest part of the divergent toe of the landslide reaches a
width of 1,010 m. Landslide debris impounded a lake of approximately 32 ha and destroyed an additional 67 ha of forest. The
impoundment took 7 to 10 days to fill, with muddied waters observed downstream on October 13. No clear linkage exists with
precipitation and temperature records preceding the landslide, but strong diurnal temperature cycles occurred in the days
prior to the event. The Todagin Creek area appears to have an affinity for large landslides with the deposits of three other
landslides >5 Mm3 observed in the valley. 相似文献

In July 2005, a debris flow and a water flood occurred on two adjacent gullies in the White River area, on northern Vancouver
Island in British Columbia, Canada. The 16,000 m3 debris flow buried approximately 7.5 ha of second-growth trees, buried approximately 500 m of a forestry road, and reached
two fish-bearing streams. The water flood eroded approximately 240 m of the same forestry road and plugged four culverts before
overtopping and inundating the road. To better plan for future events, risk analyses of debris flows, debris floods, and water
floods were carried out for the two gullies involved, plus a third adjacent gully. The elements at risk that were analyzed
included, in order of priority: users of the forestry road, the fish-bearing streams, the forestry road itself, and a timber
bridge. Using a series of qualitative, but defined, relative-risk matrices, the following components of specific risk were
estimated for each of the three types of events on each of the three gullies for each of the four elements at risk: probability
of occurrence, probability that the event will reach or otherwise affect the site of the element at risk, the probability
that the element at risk will be at the site when the event occurs, and the probability of loss or damage resulting from the
element being at the site when the event occurs. 相似文献

Landslides triggered by the 23 November 2000 rainfall event in the Imperia Province, Western Liguria, Italy 总被引：1，自引：0，他引：1

From mid-October to 22 November 2000, the western Liguria Region of Italy experienced prolonged and intense rainfall, with cumulative values exceeding 1000 mm in 45 days. The severe rainfall sequence ended on November 23 with a high-intensity storm that dumped more than 180 mm of rain in 24 h. The high-intensity event caused flooding and triggered more than 1000 soils slips and debris flows and a few large, complex landslides. Slope failures caused three fatalities and severe damage to roads, private homes, and agriculture. Large (1:13,000) and very large (1:5000) scale colour aerial photographs were taken 45 days after the event over the areas most affected by the landslides. Through the interpretation of the 334 photographs covering an area of 500 km2, we prepared a landslide inventory map that shows 1204 landslides, for a total landslide area of 1.6 km2. We identified the rainfall conditions that triggered landslides in the Armea valley using cumulative- and continuous-rainfall data, combined with detailed information on the time of landslide occurrence. Landslide activity initiated 8 to 10 h after the beginning of the storm, and the most abundant activity occurred in response to rainfall intensities of 8 to 10 mm per hour. For the Ceriana Municipality, an area where the landslides were numerous in November 2000, we also collected information about a historical event that occurred on 8–11 December 1910 and triggered abundant landslides resulting in severe economic damage. A comparison of the damage caused by the historical and the recent landslide events indicated that damage caused by the 1910 historical event was more diffused but less costly than the damage caused by the 2000 event. 相似文献

An essential element in identifying sites as analogues for the long-term development of soils and vegetation on engineered
landforms of the rehabilitated Ranger Uranium Mine, Northern Territory, Australia, is the need to match rocks. Comparison
of the geochemistry of rocks from the waste rock dump of Ranger Uranium Mine and the potential analogue site of Tin Camp Creek
area, Western Arnhem Land, indicates that there are several sites along Tin Camp Creek that may be used as analogue sites.
Detailed comparisons between the Ranger and Tin Camp Creek lithologies have been undertaken using a variety of techniques,
including cluster analysis. It is demonstrated that at least 70% of the rocks being mined at Ranger have analogues in the
Tin Camp Creek area.

Debris flows are one of the natural disasters that can occur in the alpine environment, cause large economic damage, and endanger human lives. This study presents an overview of recent research done in relation to the debris flow hazard assessment and conceptual mitigation at the Koro?ka Bela area in Slovenia. This includes fieldwork, lab experiments, modelling, and a conceptual design of hydro-technical measures to reduce the risk. The results indicate that multiple debris flows occurred in the past in the area but a relatively long period of more than 100 years without an extreme event led to urbanization and development of the area. Magnitudes of the most extreme events as the worst-case scenarios were estimated to be in the range between 100,000 and 400,000 m3, using debris flow modelling and geological information from research trenches. Based on the landslide volumes, such events could also potentially occur in the future in extreme conditions. Additionally, torrential floods could mobilize more than 15,000 m3 of material located along the stream network that can be regarded as potentially unstable. The existing check dam system does not have the capacity to capture this material. Thus, a new check dam and three flexible net barriers could help to reduce the risk due to torrential outbursts or debris flows.

On July 12, 2008, two convective cells about 155 km apart produced a brief period of intense rainfall triggering large debris
flows in the southern Sierra Nevada. The northernmost cell was centered over Oak Creek Canyon, an east-flowing drainage, and
its tributaries near Independence, CA, USA. About 5:00 p.m., debris flows passed down the South Fork and North Fork of Oak Creek to merge into a large single feature whose passage affected
the historic Mt. Whitney Fish hatchery and blocked California State Highway 395. At about the same time, the southernmost
cell was largely centered over Erskine Creek, a main tributary of the west-flowing Kern River. Debris flows issued from several
branches to coalesce into a large debris flow that passed along Erskine Creek, through the town of Lake Isabella, CA, USA
and into the Kern River. It was observed reaching Lake Isabella about 6:30 p.m. Both debris flows caused significant disruption and damage to local communities. 相似文献

Erosion and morphology of a debris flow caused by a glacial lake outburst flood,Western Norway 总被引：5，自引：2，他引：3
This article documents a 240,000-m3 debris flow resulting from a glacial lake outburst flood in Fjærland, Western Norway, May 8, 2004. The event started when a glacial lake breached a moraine ridge. The ensuing debris flow was able to erode material along its path, increasing in volume from about 25,000 to 240,000 m3 before depositing about 3 km from its starting point. Field investigations, pre- and post-flow aerial photographs as well as airborne laser scanning (LIDAR) were used to describe and investigate the flow. The most striking and unusual feature of this case study is the very pronounced erosion and bulking. We have made a detailed study of this aspect. Erosion and entrainment is quantified and the final volume of the debris flow is determined. We also present geometrical and sedimentological features of the final deposit. Based on the Fjærland data, we suggest that a self-sustaining mechanism might partly explain the extreme growth of debris flows traversing soft terrain. 相似文献

Earthquakes in mountainous areas may produce many landslides that involve abundant snow, but few observations have been made of these hazardous phenomena. The 12 March 2011 north Nagano Prefecture earthquake (MJMA 6.7) occurred in a mountainous part of Japan that typically has an annual snow cover of more than 2 m, and it induced many snowy landslides. Some of these traveled relatively long distances. We examined the snowy Tatsunokuchi landslide to reconstruct the landsliding processes over deep snow. We infer that the Tatsunokuchi landslide occurred by collapse of a rock debris mass of 5?×?104 m3 that plunged into the abundant snow, forming a mixture of snow and rock debris, which then traveled on top of the snow. Later, the displaced mass included a large amount of snow which was pushed forward at the front and to the sides. The velocity of the landslide was estimated to be approximately 14 m/s. It appears that the displaced mass, having only a small proportion of rock debris, had a low enough density to travel easily on top of the snow. Our observations suggest that there was much liquid water at the base of the displaced mass shortly after the event. Our results suggest that landslides may damage wider areas than expected if they travel over deep snow. 相似文献

On June 30, 2001, a debris flow occurred in the Acquabona Creek, a small catchment of the Eastern Dolomites, Italy. This debris
flow originated shortly after an intense rainstorm, characterised by a peak intensity of 8.6 mm per 10 min; it transported
a total volume of 30,000 m3, consisting of poorly sorted gravely sand with boulders up to 3 m in diameter. The sediment erosion yield rate reached as
high as 20 m3/m. In order to verify the accuracy of the field measurements, the total volume of debris deposits have was calculated using
three different topographic measurement techniques: 3D laser scanning, terrestrial stereo-photogrammetry survey and total
topographic station survey. Data collected so far show that no debris flow has occurred at Acquabona with a rainfall intensity
lower than 4.6 mm per 10 min. Channel cross section measurements indicate that debris flow velocity ranges from 2.0 to 7.2 m/s
along the lower flow channel and peak discharge ranges between 22 and 300 m3/s. Field estimates of the rheological properties indicate a yield strength ranging from 2,088 to 5,313 Pa and Bingham viscosity
between 70 and 337 Pa · s. It is not still possible to identify a rainfall intensity and amount threshold for debris flow
triggering, but the data so far collected emphasise that debris flows do not occur with a rainfall intensity lower than 4.6 mm
per 10 min. 相似文献

Stratabound, uraniferous diagenetic xenotime cements provide a minimum depositional age of 1,632±3 Ma for the sedimentary
Birrindudu Group in the Killi Killi Hills, Tanami Region in northern Australia. The age of xenotime formation is broadly coeval
with that recently proposed (1,650–1,600 Ma) for uranium mineralisation in the unconformity-associated deposits of the Pine
Creek Inlier, northern Australia, and Athabasca Basin, Canada. The geological setting and formation model for the uraniferous
xenotime crystals are similar to those widely proposed for unconformity-associated uranium deposits, suggesting a genetic
link between the two. However, xenotime formation in the Birrindudu Group occurred during an apparently earlier stage of diagenesis,
compared to late diagenetic formation of unconformity-associated uranium deposits. This could be explained by variations in
the thickness of sediment cover and diachronous diagenesis across the basin, at the time of the basin-wide uranium mobilisation
event, herein dated at ca. 1,630 Ma. In such a scenario, stratabound uraniferous xenotime cements could represent the remote
distal zones of a more deeply buried, uranium mineralising system. Alternatively, the xenotime layer represents a precursor
to, or a source for, later unconformity-associated ore deposition. In this case, the presence of diagenetic uraniferous xenotime
in an area prospective for unconformity-associated uranium mineralisation would be an indication of, and still provide an
approximate age for, uranium mobilisation within the cover sequence. Xenotime is a far more robust mineral than uraninite
for U–Pb geochronology and can potentially provide a more reliable and precise timeframe for uranium mineralisation and subsequent
recrystallisation events if present in the immediate uranium-ore environment. 相似文献

Fire-related hyperconcentrated and debris flows on Storm King Mountain, Glenwood Springs, Colorado, USA 总被引：2，自引：0，他引：2
The South Canyon Fire of July 1994 burned 800 ha of vegetation on Storm King Mountain near Glenwood Springs, Colorado, USA.
On the night of 1 September 1994, in response to torrential rains, debris flows inundated seven areas along a 5-km length
of Interstate Highway 70. Mapping from aerial photographs, along with field observations and measurements, shows that the
September rainstorm eroded unconsolidated, burned surficial soil from the hillsides, flushed dry-ravel deposits from the tributary
channels, and transported loose, large material from the main channels. The hyperconcentrated flows and debris flows inundated
14 ha of Interstate Highway 70 with 70 000 m3 of material. Although the burned area was seeded in November 1994, the potential for continuing debris-flow activity remains.
Incision and entrainment of channel alluvium, as well as erosion of loose material from the hillslopes could result in future
debris- and hyperconcentrated-flow activity.
