Brief communication: The curious case of the large wood-laden flow event in the Pocuro stream (Chile)
Large wood transported during extreme flood events can represent a relevant additional source of hazards that should be taken into account in mountain environments. However, direct observations and monitoring of large-wood transport during floods are difficult and scarce. Here we present a video...

| description | Large wood transported during extreme flood events can represent a relevant
additional source of hazards that should be
taken into account in mountain environments. However, direct observations and monitoring of large-wood transport during
floods are difficult and scarce. Here we present a video of a flood characterised by multiple phases of
large-wood transport, including an initial phase of wood-laden flow rarely described in the literature. Estimations of flow velocity and
transported wood volume provide a good opportunity to develop models of large-wood-congested transport. |
