Assessing debris-flow hazard focusing on statistical morpho-fluvial susceptibility models and magnitude-frequency relationships. Application to the central-eastern Pyrenees

Occurrence of debris flows has received little attention in the Pyrenees, probably due to the small risk faced by most of the debris-flow prone sites in this mountain range. Nevertheless, the event of Biescas, which occurred in august 1996 and causing 87 casualties, demonstrates the existence of hig...
