This paper describes a study on the combined impacts of antecedent earthquakes and droughts on disastrous debris flows. This is a novel attempt in quantifying such impacts using the effective peak acceleration (EPA) (to represent earthquakes) and standardized precipitation index (SPI) (to represent droughts). The study is based on the analysis of 116 disastrous debris flow events occurred in Mainland...
Through the alteration of the physical characteristics of a landscape, such as the destruction of vegetation and the formation of a hydrophobic layer, a fire can dramatically amplify erosion rates. On the basis of field observations, it has been proposed that the deposition of a layer of ash on the ground surface can enhance the erosion of mountainous terrain by surface runoff and might even be a...
