Description :
This paper summarises 10 years (1989-1998) of field research in the Moscardo Torrent, a debris-flow prone basin in the Eastern Italian Alps. The monitoring system and its improvements made over a decade are described. An analysis of debris-flow characteristics is also presented on the basis of the experimental data that have been gathered. Advantages and shortcomings of different types of sensors are discussed with relevance both for research monitoring purposes and for possible use in debris-flow warning systems.
