Abstract

The location of debris flow occurring in a gully determines the observable differences in its formation, evolution and effects. In this piece of research, we propose a new method for debris flow gully classification based on the locations of the debris flows occurring in the gullies. It is termed the three-section method (TSM). It includes eight different types of gullies with different digital identifications (IDs) and susceptibility degrees (SDs). By taking the Jiangjia Gully (JJG), in Yunnan, China, as a case study site, the main gully and the sub-gullies at different levels were identified using a hydrological analysis method. Then, the gullies were divided into different types using the new classification TSM. The results show that there are seven different types of debris flow gullies in the JJG. The number of different types varied greatly in gullies at different levels. In particular, the topological diagram of debris flow gullies was drawn after simplifying the shape of the gullies, and it was a good way to understand the characteristics of debris flow gullies. Finally, the relationships were explored between the hypsometric integrals (HIs), surface exposures (SEs) and susceptibility degrees (SDs), and a new calculation model construction method for determining the degree of debris flow susceptibility was proposed. This model, using the above method, can not only be used to calculate the SDs of debris flows in the gullies, but can also be instrumental in pointing out the approximate locations of the debris flow commonly and easily occurring in the gullies. We hope that our research can provide a new concept for the assessment of debris flow susceptibility.
