Water-related disasters most perceived by the public are those caused by large-scale riverine floods. There is evidence, however, that the most deadly events, which are driven by extreme precipitation, are those that are difficult to predict, such as debris ...

<p>This paper describes a study of the stress-strain-pore water pressure behavior of Mexico City sediments subjected to one hundred sinusoidal stress-controlled cycles of loading. The influence of factors, such as, yielding stress, confining pressure, cyclic ...

Sediment influx to channel networks is stochastically driven by rainstorms and other perturbations, which are discrete in time and space and which occur on a landscapewith its own spatial variability in topography, colluvium properties, and state of recovery ...
