Effects of Glacier and Geomorphology on the Mechanism Difference of Glacier-Related Debris Flow on the South and North Banks of Parlung Zangbo River, Southeastern Tibetan Plateau by Jiajia Zhang, Jiankang Liu, Yuanling Li, Junchao Wang, Long Chen, Bo Gao

“…Alpine glaciers are vulnerable to climate changes, and their recession due to warming has already induced a large number of geohazards closely related to the glacial motion, such as debris flow. Strong coupling of the geology, geomorphology, climate, and glacial action controls the type, size, development, and frequency of debris flow along the Parlung Zangbo River, Southeastern (SE) Tibetan Plateau. …”
