Regional debris flow susceptibility analysis in mountainous peri-urban areas through morphometric and land cover indicators

A method for assessing regional debris flow susceptibility at the watershed scale, based on an index composed of a morphometric indicator and a land cover indicator, is proposed and applied in 106 peri-urban mountainous watersheds in Bogotá, Colombia. The indicator of debris flow susceptibility is o...
