The present contribution describes results from the quantification of transferred sediment volumes between the front of an active rock glacier and a torrential gully. The focus is set on the methodological approach which combines terrestrial laser scanning (TLS) generated digital terrain models (DTM) and geodetic field surveys. The aim is to compare high resolution DTMs from different dates in ...

INTRODUCTION Sudden severe hemorrhage from locally advanced fungating breast carcinoma and its associated cutaneous lesions is rarely reported. Transcatheter arterial embolization has been used widely in the setting of intractable neoplastic hemorrhage arising from primary and metastatic tumors of the lung, liver, kidney, and gastrointestinal tract. Here, we detail the use of transcatheter arte...

The urban environment is confronted with recurring calamities including floods, landslides and forced escapes of populations during periods rain. In Côte d’Ivoire, the municipalities Abobo Attécoubé suffered enormous material human damage following torrential rains 2014. These urbanized areas are built on large plateaus bordered by thalwegs where 61% these have no drainage network, thus facing ...

A coevolutionary perspective is adopted to understand the dynamics of exposure to mountain hazards in the European Alps. A spatially explicit, object-based temporal assessment of elements at risk to mountain hazards (river floods, torrential floods, and debris flows) in Austria and Switzerland is presented for the period from 1919 to 2012. The assessment is based on two different data sets: (1)...

The tadpoles of many anuran amphibians inhabit lotic habitats and evolved oral devices to adhere to the substratum. Although published anatomical descriptions of rheophilous tadpoles exist, little is known about the modifications in gastromyzophorous tadpoles that possess abdominal suckers and live in torrential sections of streams. We describe the gastromyzophorous tadpoles of Huia cavitympanu...

Abstract Around October 12, 2019, torrential rainfall from Typhoon Hagibis caused large-scale flooding in a large area around the metropole region of Tokyo leading to destruction including losses lives, livelihoods, and economic well over $10 bn US dollars. In this paper we use multi-method probabilistic event attribution framework assess role human-induced climate change heavy responsible for ...
