Abstract
Debris flow processes in steep mountain streams may feature tipping process patterns such as those involving sudden morphological changes and clogging of critical flow sections due to wood accumulations. Moreover problem solving in spatial planning and risk mitigation requires robust methods to quantify, both with respect to space and time, process magnitudes and intensities. By applying a balanced investigation approach and by testing different numerical debris flow simulation programs to reconstruct a real debris flow event, our contribution aims to explore the potential and the associated critical aspects of a sound hazard assessment.
