Abstract Debris flows are fast‐moving gravity flows of poorly sorted rock and soil, mixed and saturated with water. Debris‐flow initiation has been studied using empirical and experimental modelling, but the geomorphic changes, indicative of different triggering processes, are difficult to constrain...
