Recent catastrophic debris flows in Chile: Geological hazard, climatic relationships and human response
(PERGAMON-ELSEVIER SCIENCE LTD, 2006-12)
Debris flows are an important type of geological hazard in Chile, affecting cities, towns and rural areas throughout the country despite the variation in climate regimes. In this summary paper, recent debris flows in the ...
Debris flows in the Andean ranges of central Chile and Argentina triggered by 2013 summer storms: characteristics and consequences
(Springer, 2015)
In January and February 2013, heavy rainfall during local
summer storms triggered a large number of landslides in the
Andes Main and Frontal ranges of central Chile and Argentina
(32°–34° S). Most of the mass movements ...
Debris flow susceptibility mapping using frequency ratio and seed cells, in a portion of a mountain international route, Dry Central Andes of Argentina
(Elsevier Science, 2020-06)
Debris flow and floods represent one of the main natural hazards that impact transport infrastructure, causing serious damage, economic losses and hinder regional economic development. These processes are eventually ...
Rain-induced debris and mudflow triggering factors assessment in the Santiago cordilleran foothills, Central Chile
(SPRINGER, 2008-11)
Debris and mudflows are some of the main geological hazards in the mountain
foothills of the Chilean capital city of Santiago. There, the risk of flows triggered in the
basins of ravines that drain the range into the ...

Debris flow affecting the Cubatauo Oil Refinery, Brazil
(SPRINGER HEIDELBERG, 2008)
On February 6, 1994, a large debris flow developed because of intense rains in a 800-m-high mountain range called Serra do Cubatao, the local name for the Serra do Mar, located along the coast of the state of Sao Paulo, ...
Development of structural debris flow fragility curves (debris flow buildings resistance) using momentum flux rate as a hazard parameter
(Elsevier B.V., 2018-05-18)
Societal risks associated with debris flow hazards are significant and likely to escalate due to global population growth trends and the compounding effects of climate change. Quantitative risk assessment methods (QRA) ...
