In the European Alps, they annually damage infrastructure and settlements, often resulting in fatalities. Climate warming is projected to locally and temporarily shift debris-flow frequency, intensity, and spatial extent by enhancing rain-on-snow events, precipitation extremes, glacier melt, and permafrost thaw—processes that alter sediment availability in alpine catchments. At the same time, human exposure to debris-flow hazards has intensified as urban expansion increasingly encroaches on torrential cones, driven by limited development space in alpine valleys. Despite their central role in shaping future risk and economic losses, climate and land-use changes are rarely considered together in quantitative risk analyses. This study investigates the depositional cone of the Dorfbach torrent (Valais, Switzerland), drawing on scenarios of past, present, and future debris-flow frequency and intensity. Hazard maps were combined with elements at risk, buildings and infrastructure, from 1880 to 2020, based on historical topographic maps and aerial photographs. Analyses employed the Swiss EconoMe framework, designed to quantify risks from gravitational hazards, to disentangle the influence of climate and land-use on total risk. Results indicate that climate warming and permafrost thaw alone would expand the debris-flow-affected area by 228 %, reducible to 61 % with protection dams. Historical data show settlements and infrastructure on the cone increased by 227 % and 203 % respectively since 1880. Integrating hazard scenarios with risk elements across four time steps (1880, 1940, 1980, and 2020) reveals that land-use changes have led to a 118 % in risk costs between 1880 and 2020. In contrast, the 2010 hazard mapping projected a 238 % increase, highlighting that climate-driven hazard changes contribute more than twice as much as land-use change to rising risk costs. Given widespread urban expansion on Alpine torrential cones and rapid climate shifts, our findings from this archetypal Swiss site underscore the need for similar integrated studies across other mountain regions.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":55115,"journal":{"name":"Geomorphology","volume":"493 ","pages":"Article 110086"},"PeriodicalIF":3.1,"publicationDate":"2026-01-15","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"145529370","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"地球科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Although divide migration greatly affects the landscape, the process is commonly too slow to be observed or measured directly. Consequently, the primary mechanisms driving the migration of drainage divides remain poorly understood. While it is assumed that unequal erosion rates on opposite sides of drainage divides force their migrations, indirect evidence or proxy indices currently provide the most effective tools for estimating these erosion rates. This study employs DEM-based topographic indices serving as erosional proxies to quantify their cross-divide anomalies, inferring variations in erosion rates across the analysed drainage divide. Our analysis focused on the divide segments defining the upper part of the Hron River basin. This drainage basin is located in the Inner Western Carpathians, for which limited information is available on key drivers controlling drainage divide dynamics. To infer differences in erosion rates across the analysed drainage divide, we used two categories of proxy indices, the fluvial and hillslope (Gilbert) metrics. The obtained results indicate that fluvial proxies are likely responsive to regional controls, albeit relatively weak in the study area. Specifically, the <em>χ</em> (chi) index anomalies show relatively consistent patterns, suggesting a generally northward-directed asymmetry. We interpret the cross-divide <em>χ</em>-offsets as reflecting the topographic response to the ongoing uplift of the Western Carpathians, which represents the main regional driving force. The most recent uplift phase appears to be spatially uniform and characterised by low rates, which are generally consistent with current GNSS data and the low seismicity of the Inner Western Carpathians. In contrast, topography adjacent to the drainage divide appears to be dominated by local-scale or short-term processes, which are effectively captured by hillslope (Gilbert) metrics. In the vicinity of the drainage divide segments, these local controls often obscure regional trends.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":55115,"journal":{"name":"Geomorphology","volume":"493 ","pages":"Article 110077"},"PeriodicalIF":3.1,"publicationDate":"2026-01-15","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"145468383","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"地球科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The experimental results reveal three distinct failure modes: retrogressive sliding, seepage erosion, and localized sliding. Each mode is governed by the interplay between slope inclination and soil hydraulic properties. Retrogressive sliding was observed in gently sloping profiles due to uniform pore water pressure accumulation, while seepage erosion resulted from concentrated flows and fine particle migration at the slope base. Localized sliding occurred in steeper slopes where rapid water accumulation above the coarse-grained layer led to sudden failure. Numerical simulations reproduced the transient infiltration dynamics, highlighting two infiltration regimes: the Store–Divert–Percolation pattern in low-angle slopes and the Store–Divert–Drainage behavior in steeper ones.

We performed cosmonucleide burial dating, recorded morphology and micrometeorology, carried out mineralogical identification by XRD, and hydrogeology using dye tracing and physical and chemical analyses. The cosmonucleide dating of quartz pebbles showed that the Veronica Cave is the oldest, with deposits dated at 1.3 ± 0.4 Ma, and possibly even older. It certainly formed at a much lower altitude (approx. 1300 m a.s.l. or lower) during the Alpine uplift. The Morgana and Marsooi caves, given the smaller volume of their phreatic conduits (1/3 of Veronica), are possibly more recent, formed during interglacials and evolved close to a glacial body. The caves initiated in dolomitic marble under the influence of sulfuric acid speleogenesis (SAS) due to pyrite oxidation. The conduits were then enlarged dramatically under phreatic conditions. The caves have evolved since their preglacial formation, with phases of filling by fluvio-glacial sediments and unclogging. Water tracing and physico-chemical analysis attest to a well-karstified aquifer, with rapid water circulation (&gt;20 m/h) and low temperatures (∼2 °C), draining towards the main spring, “La Prediletta”, located at the foot of the dolomitic marbles. Microclimatic records (cave temperature and humidity) show seasonal cycles of condensation and evaporation, influenced by air exchanges with the outside atmosphere.

Here, we document such changes in landscape dynamics using the northern Swiss Alpine Foreland as example, and we explore how the landscape in the foreland evolved during the Early and Middle Pleistocene. Following these scopes, we investigated glaciofluvial gravels in detail at seven sites in the Mandach and Lake Constance regions situated on the northern side of the Central European Alps. Clast petrography analysis indicates that the gravels in the Mandach region were transported by the Aare, Reuss, Linth, and Rhaetian paleoglaciers from the Alps into the northern Alpine Foreland, where they were subsequently deposited by meltwaters. In contrast the sediments at Schienerberg in the Lake Constance region, situated farther to the Northeast, show that they were transported solely by the Rhaetian paleoglacier. The isochron-burial chronology at the study sites suggests that the sediments were deposited during the Middle Pleistocene within in the age range of the Möhlin Glaciation around 500 ka. Because the Early and Middle Pleistocene archives were deposited at different elevations, the chronologic record established in this paper yields information on how erosion and thus the formation of relief changed over time. In particular the ages imply that bedrock incision was accelerated from &lt;100 m/My prior 1 Ma, to &gt;200 m/My between 1 Ma and the onset of the Möhlin Glaciation at ca 500 ka, to &lt;100 m/My thereafter. The timing of the relief change implies that the lowering was likely induced by the Mid-Pleistocene Transition (MPT).</div></div>","PeriodicalId":55115,"journal":{"name":"Geomorphology","volume":"492 ","pages":"Article 110060"},"PeriodicalIF":3.1,"publicationDate":"2026-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"145365380","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"地球科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
