Triggering and propagation of exogenous sediment pulses in mountain channels: insights from flume experiments with seismic monitoring

<p>In the upper part of mountain river catchments, large amounts of loose debris produced by mass-wasting processes can accumulate at the base of slopes and cliffs. Sudden destabilizations of these deposits are thought to trigger energetic sediment pulses that may travel in downstream rivers w...
