![]() Unlike debris flows at low elevations, where their occurrence is closely related to precipitation (intensity and duration), the breach of a DFMC event depends on precipitation and/or air temperature, which in turn influence melt/thaw processes, rending the formation mechanism much more complicated. a rising temperature and higher occurrence of strong precipitation events). ![]() As a consequence, the actual hazards and potential risks of DFMC have drawn increasing attention in the context of global climate change (i.e. This is particularly the case in high mountain areas that have been undergoing rapid glacier retreat, permafrost degradation, and other melt/thaw related processes. Debris flows originating in the mountain cryosphere (DFMC) are one of the most globally important, widely distributed mass flows (and natural geohazards) in mountain areas with a high altitude and/or high latitude.
