A new 3D simulation tool developed by ETH and SLF researchers now allows for significantly more accurate predictions of ...

i spoke with a doctor who richard says debris flows. he has develop in a model that can forecast the likelihood of a debris flow for a specific area. >> there is a number of factors that go into ...

"Our study proposes a new approach using a model to predict debris flow behavior before a fire occurs." A common misconception is that after a wildfire is contained, the danger is over.

When an extreme weather event occurs, the probability or risk of other events can often increase, leading to what researchers ...

Debris flows carry mud and water, and their power, speed and thick consistency allow them to also transport heavy objects like a boulder the size of a Volkswagen Beetle. “It becomes a flood on ...

The debris flow rushed toward town going 40 mph and carrying with it anything in its path. Including the bridge. The boulder-filled mudslide hit the bridge and took it out, ...

There is now a 10% to 20% chance of significant debris flow for sensitive recently burned areas of L.A. County; that’s up from an earlier estimate of 5% to 10%.
