There has been no volcano hunting on this trip. I forgot it is rainy season and I am not trying to die in a landslide/debrisflow. Thunder storms every. single. day!

🌊🪨Thunderstorms triggered the first major debris flow of the season in the Illgraben (VS). For the first time, WSL researchers have documented such mud waves and boulders weighing several tons over a two-kilometer stretch. www.wsl.ch/en/news/meas... #DebrisFlow #NaturalHazards
Measuring massive surge waves along the Illgraben
For the first time, WSL researchers tracked debris flows over two kilometres, revealing how these dangerous mudflows unfold.

Plenty of water, fine-rich sediments and a steep slope – that's all it takes to create a hazardous #debrisflow. #SLF researchers studied ten different debris-flow channels in #Switzerland to gain a fuller understanding of flows.

Are you applying the superelevation method to obtain #debrisflow velocity estimates? Then don't miss: Åberg et al. (2024) used new field data to validate the method.

Field Validation of the Superelevation Method for Debris‐Flow Velocity Estimation Using High‐Resolution Lidar and UAV Data
3D lidar scans (10 Hz) provide new insights into the superelevation method for post-event debris-flow velocity estimation Results indicate that the traditional superelevation method overestimates...

Nice piece by @alannakellynews.bsky.social on the tragic debris flow in Lions Bay. Some nice drone footage of the lower part of the landslide. Still have not seen good images of the source area. #debrisflow #BCHwy99

Watch: Lions Bay declares local state of emergency, search for second missing resident continues
Emergency crews continue a search as an investigation into the slide that killed at least one person is ongoing
