With climate change and deforestation, debris flows and debris
avalanches have become the most significant landslide hazards in
many countries. In recent years there have been numerous debris
flow avalanches in Southern Europe, South America and the Indian
Subcontinent, resulting in major catastrophes and large loss of
life. This is therefore a major high-profile problem for the
world's governments and for the engineers and scientists concerned.
Matthias Jakob and Oldrich Hungr are ideally suited to edit this
book. Matthias Jakob has worked on debris flow for over a decade
and has had numerous papers published on the topic, as well as
working as a consultant on debris flow for municipal and provincial
governments. Oldrich Hungr has worked on site investigations on
debris flow, avalanches and rockfall, with emphasis on slope
stability analysis and evaluation of risks to roads in built-up
areas. He has also developed mathematical models for landslide
dynamic analysis. They have invited world-renowned experts to joint
them in this book.
