![]() Our study aims to close this gap by an analysis of an Austrian database of historic events. ![]() However, there is still an information gap for quantitative debris flow hazard assessment based on recurrence intervals and associated magnitudes. In some areas, geomorphic and stratigraphic assessments and dendrochronology studies have been used for estimating magnitudes and frequencies of debris flow events. However, with respect to debris flows there is a particular lack of such data, as these processes are rare phenomena, the systematic measurements of relevant parameters have only been carried out in selected watersheds within the last decades. Hazard assessment and the design of mitigation measures against mountain hazards are usually based on statistically derived magnitude-frequency relationships of process parameters such as discharge, flow velocity, or the volume of debris deposits.
