Results
Surface velocity fields have been computed for a number of debris-flow surges recorded in the Gadria Creek (Eastern Italian Alps) from 2011 to 2015. The values obtained are consistent with debris-flow velocities estimated by means of other methods, such as the cross-correlation between hydrographs recorded at different cross sections.
Products
The results of the project have been presented in a technical report. A paper that describes the techniques developed and the results obtained in the Gadria Creek is currently under preparation.
Conclusions
In spite of some difficulties that arose during the analysis, LSPIV represents an important opportunity for debris-flow surface flow velocity estimation. Research is still needed for a better quantification of the uncertainties related to this analysis.
