Modeling of debris flow depositional patterns according to the catchments and sediment source areas characteristics

A method to predict the most probable flow rheology in Alpine debris flows is presented. The methods classifies outcropping rock masses in catchments on the basis of the type of resulting unconsolidated deposits. The grain size distribution of the debris material and the depositional style of past d...
