20/10/2015 Analysing the Oberstdorf debris/hyperconcentrated flow event with 500 evacuations


On the 14/06/2015 destructive debris flows occurred at the “Faltenbach” and adjacent torrents in Oberstdorf (Bavaria, Germany). The damages to infrastructure and houses amount to several millions. Andreas Dietrich investigated sediment mobilisation with a 3D laserscanner directly after the event. The aim is to get more information about the mobilised volume, incision of the torrent and the origin of the material, which are helpful to understand future events
