The 1970 Huascarán Debris Avalanche occurred on May 31 1970, when a debris avalanche and mudflow triggered by the Ancash earthquake destroyed the Peruvian...

blocks of rock and trees, it is a volcanic debris flow. Lahars can form directly from a pyroclastic material flow flowing into a river, or could possibly...

hyperconcentrated flow is a two-phase flowing mixture of water and sediment in a channel which has properties intermediate between fluvial flow and debris flow. Large...

that led to damage were debris flows and lahars, initiated by heavy rain which destabilized pyroclastic flow and ash debris previously deposited on the...

filled in by rock and debris. The floods of 2003 and 2006 actually helped the falls a lot because it removed most of the debris that previously lined...

slide-debris avalanche occurred in the Philippine province of Southern Leyte, causing widespread damage and loss of life. The deadly landslide (or debris flow)...

A flexible debris-resisting barrier is a structure used to mitigate debris flows or to contain flow-entrained woods. These structures mainly consist of...
