The impact of fluvial events on inhabitants and facilities in mountain valleys is increasing. In order to better protect inhabitants and developments, knowledge of the possible magnitudes of hazard events is vital, and knowledge of the conditions that allow their occurrence should form the basis of a refecasting and warning strategy. Too much current and past research focusses on theoretical aspects...
A sequence of Late Holocene moraines on the foreland of the Mueller Glacier, Southern Alps, New Zealand, forms part of a local moraine‐age database used to establish a regional glacier chronology and subsequently to investigate potential intra‐hemispheric and global climate forcing mechanisms. We present new sedimentological and geomorphological evidence that a set of these moraine ridges, previously...
Massive rock avalanches form some of the largest landslide deposits on Earth and are major geohazards in high-relief mountains. This work reinterprets a previously reported glacial deposit in the Alai Valley of Kyrgyzstan as the result of an extremely long-runout, probably coseismic, rock avalanche from the Komansu River catchment. Total runout of the rock avalanche is ~28 km, making it one of the...
