DOI: 10.5194/nhess-18-2331-2018
Abstract: Rainfall-induced debris flows in recently burned mountainous areas cause significant economic losses and human casualties. Currently, prediction of post-fire debris flows is widely based on the use of power-law thresholds and logistic regression models. While… read more here.
