Abstract

Mud and Debris flows are fast geological disasters that can lead to significant loss of life and wealth. In recent years, numerous methods for controlling debris flow disasters have been developed, with monitoring and prior warning systems being the maximum efficient and cost-efficient approach. This study analyzes the monitoring elements, like material sources, water sources, and the characteristics of debris flows, and compares current monitoring technologies and methods. This analysis helps in selecting appropriate monitoring techniques for preventing and managing real geological disasters, thereby avoiding resource waste.

Author Biography

  • Bei Gexue, Gansu Institute of Engineering Geology, Lanzhou, 730000, China

    Gexue Bai is with the Gansu Institute of Engineering Geology in Lanzhou, China. His work primarily focuses on the stability of loess slopes, particularly how environmental factors such as rainfall and vehicle loads affect slope stability. Bai has contributed to studies that explore the interaction between water content and shear strength parameters in loess soil, using advanced geotechnical modeling techniques like finite element analysis to evaluate slope stability under various conditions. His research is significant for understanding landslide mechanisms in areas prone to geological hazards, especially in northwestern China.
