In response to climatic change, the size and number of moraine-dammed supraglacial and
proglacial lake systems have increased dramatically in recent decades. Given an …

Recession of high‐mountain glaciers in response to climatic change frequently results in the
development of moraine‐dammed glacial lakes. Moraine dam failure is often accompanied …

The limited number of available data is a common problem in most hydrologic and hydraulic
studies, typically dam breach analysis. Construction of a probabilistic model is a key step in …

Although advanced physically based models have been presented in the last years, there is
still much interest in equations for predicting the peak discharge. Indeed, simple relations …

Numerical modeling is commonly used to reproduce the physical phenomena of dam-break
and to compile resulting flood hazard maps. The accuracy of a dam-break model depends …

Risk assessment development considering the failure of landslide dams often requires the
estimation of peak outflow through the breach. The empirical equations based on data from …

This thesis represents a large body of work that seeks to describe, quantify, and simulate the
behaviour of large rock slope failures (> 1 Mm³), in the form of landslides and rock …
