Objective definition of rainfall intensity-duration thresholds for the initiation of post-fire debris flows in southern California

Landslides (Springer) | June 27th, 2012

Summary

Rainfall intensity–duration (ID) thresholds are commonly used to predict the temporal occurrence of debris flows and shallow landslides. Typically, thresholds are sub

Plant-water sensitivity regulates wildfire vulnerability

Nature Portfolio (Springer Nature) | February 7th, 2022

Summary
