摘要
The origins of debris flows from the most troublesome tributary basin were investigated following the debris flows and floods of September 6, 1978. A jokulhlaup (catastrophic glacial outburst flood) origin was determined for the debris flows and flood of this event. An investigation of weather records prior to debris flows of 1962, 1946 and 1925 indicates a similar origin for the 1946 and 1925 events.-from Author
