This book provides a summary of the state of the art of all facets of debris-flow science and practice and is designed to be a comprehensive technical reference for practitioners and a state-of-the-art research overview for scientists. It is richly illustrated with equations, graphs, photos, and tables. The book allows students, practitioners, and regulators to get a sense of the current state of the art in this science. Currently, there are 2 to 3 papers published every week on some aspects of debris-flow science. This creates a bewildering amount of literature that cannot be captured by a single individual. This book provides a comprehensive overview of all facets to date, including initial hazard assessments, detailed quantitative risk assessments, debris-flow warning systems, debris-flow mitigation structure designs, and failures of mitigation works, as well as new topics such as climate change effects on debris flows.
Scott McDougall is an associate professor of Geological Engineering in the Department of Earth, Ocean, and Atmospheric Sciences at the University of British Columbia (UBC). He completed a B.A.Sc. in Civil Engineering at the University of Toronto in 1998 and a Ph.D. in Geological Engineering at UBC in 2006. Before joining the faculty at UBC full time in 2016, he worked for 10 years as a consultant with BGC Engineering in Vancouver, where he was engaged in a wide variety of projects in the mining, energy, transportation, and municipal development sectors. His research team specializes in the development of tools and techniques for the analysis of geohazards, including landslides, landslide-generated waves, shoreline erosion, and dam breaches. He has served as the chair of the Canadian Geotechnical Society's (CGS) Geohazards Committee and was a recipient of the 2014 CGS Colloquium Award and the 2023 Thomas Roy Award.
