Analysis of the Magnitude of Debris Flows in Korea

Abstract

Different magnitude of debris flows causes different damages to the surrounding environment. It is important to know its volume in order to be able to be aware of its run-out length and potential damage level. Many researchers have tried to develop regression models for estimating debris flow magnitude, yet they cannot be used in a general context. A research on debris flow in the eastern Italian Alps, for example, a regression equation to determine debris flow magnitude based only on the slope gradient (
