Large rock avalanches: A kinematic model

Rock avalanches constitute geodynamic phenomena of great beauty and extraordinary power, but at the same time they usually mean destruction of life found in their way. Therefore, it is of prime importance to acquire information on the dynamics of such debris streams so that their kinematic behavior...
