Abstract

Debris flows in mountainous areas have a deep geomorphic impact on slope dynamics. Their activity corresponds with heavy rainfall events. The estimation of these events depends not only on meteorological prediction but also on the knowledge of their spatial occurrence. As debris flows usually occur in the same paths with different frequencies during the Quaternary period, spatial data are needed to obtain more detailed information about debris flow phenomena. This was the reason for the creation of the presented map of debris flow features in the Hrubý Jeseník Mts. A total of 95 debris flow paths and 47 debris flow accumulations (including lobes or levees) have been mapped in the field. A comprehensive spatial database of debris flow features is shown in the map, which could be helpful for future research of Quaternary geomorphic evolution of the landscape and for forest management and state administrative authorities in future planning.
