Excited to share that the final chapter of my PhD has been published in Science Advances. We show that large post-earthquake debris flows in Wenchuan are more frequent than expected due to the large volumes of sediment stored in channels. 🏔️ www.science.org/doi/10.1126/... #landslides

The hazard of large debris flows
Large debris flows entrain sediment from extreme events like earthquakes and volcanic eruptions to form an escalating hazard.

A little commentary on a very nice paper (agupubs.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1029/...) that explores the impacts of sediment on flood mitigation measures in Kathmandu. Long story short - floods are more than just water, and this can really matter! www.nature.com/articles/d41...
