Speaker: Dott.ssa Laura Maria Stancanelli (Università di Catania)
Debris flows are rapid, gravity-induced mass movements consisting of sediment-liquid mixtures, which propagate along channels carved into mountain slopes or debris fans. These movements represent a serious natural hazard due to the high velocity, the large volumes of mobilized sediment, and the high-impact forces exerted on any obstacle they come across. The alluvial event of Giampilieri (Italy) on the 1st October 2009 is presented. The analysis of such an event has raised open questions which have inspired laboratory activities.
The seminar will focus on the two aspects of the debris flow complex dynamics, which have been analyzed at the laboratory scale.
