“…Tropeano and Turconi (1999) presented data of debris-flow magnitude from a sample of 38 basins in the Western and Central Italian Alps: a comparison of unit values of debris-flow magnitude, performed using the t-test with separate variance estimate, shows the absence of significant differences with respect to the basins of the Eastern Italian Alps for a p-level of 0·05. Published data regarding other Alpine countries are not homogeneous with those collected in northeastern Italy, because available data concern only some selected events, such as those of summer 1987 in Switzerland (Rickenmann and Zimmermann, 1993), or apparently focus on high intensity events (Aulitzky, 1989): in such cases only a qualitative comparison is possible. The magnitude of debris flows in the Eastern Italian Alps seems to be similar to that of Swiss debris flows, whereas Austrian data show a higher number of very large debris flows (volume greater than 100 000 m 3 ).…”

“…Typically, only a few hundred cubic metres are involved in the initial mobilization, but debris flows commonly scour the flowpath to rock and grow to volumes of order 10 3 -10 5 m 3 ( van Dine, 1985;Aulitzky, 1989). The largest known debris flows exceed 10 6 m 3 volume.…”
