This volume discusses the general physics of debris flows and various approaches to modeling - including the SEGMENT-Landslide approach - as well as the pros and cons of these approaches and how other approaches are sub-sets of the SEGMENT-Landslide approach.
Introduction.- Ecosystem of sloping terrain, soil and vegetation.- Landslides are a double-edged sword.- Strain and Stress.- Landslide dynamics.- SEGMENT-Landslide and applications on various climatic zones.- Changes in extreme precipitation in a future warming climate.- Landslides impact on sea level rise.- Modeling the debris flows in the aftermath of the 2007 Southern California Wildfires.- Opportunity and challenges in a remote sensing era.- The path forward: Landslides in a future climate.- Mathematical skills required to fully understand SEGMENT-Landslide.- Appendix 1: Pressure fields within a simplest granular media - A comment on a recent Science article on locomotors running over sands.- Appendix 2: Cluster analysis.- Appendix 3: Scarp size distribution, who are the players?.- Appendix 4: Basic tensor (and vector) operations.- Appendix 5: GPD analysis of extreme precipitation.- Appendix C1: Lax-Windoff scheme of various order of accuracy (1D followed by a higher order scheme implemented in SEGMENT-Landslide.- Appendix C2: 1D thermal equation solver (semi-implicit C-N scheme).
