Sediment Dynamics and Channel Adjustments Following Torrential Floods in an Upper Alpine Valley (Guil River, Southern French Alps)In the upper reaches of Alpine valleys, the shaping of active channels appears mostly dependent upon hydroclimatic variability, as illustrated by the upper Guil River. In this valley, recent land-use changes have reduced the channel capacity of the Guil River, and increased the vulnerability of human installations to damage. In the frame of the implementation of a River Scheme and a Flood Prevention Action Program, we try to improve our knowledge of sediment transfers at the origin of disasters. Our analysis was carried after two high magnitude low frequency hydroclimatic events (1957, 2000). It is based on desk and field data, account for active-channel width and area, sinuosity and braiding indexes, engineering structures and their variation in space and time. We show the major role played by the Guil tributaries in supplying debris to zones with important assets. Finally, we discuss about the difficulty to implement efficient management tools at a local scale.

Extreme floods are one of the major natural hazards that affect Italian territory causing causalities, severe damages to human properties and infrastructures and major economic losses. High intensity flood events can significantly affect channel morphology with extremely variable magnitude and pattern among river reaches, even within the same catchment, depending on the initial morphological conditions and being a function of the balance between flood driving and channel boundary resistant forces. This work addresses a better comprehension of morphodynamic processes during extreme flood events through the use of integrated and interlinked approaches. The thesis addresses: i) the documentation and analysis of channel response and its variability during large floods through different morphological settings (i.e., alluvial/semi-alluvial and confined/unconfined rivers); ii) the development of a systematic approach to assess and quantify geomorphic changes; iii) the investigation of the ...

Extreme flood events, geomorphological hazard, fluvial dynamics, remote sensing, channel width Abstract: Extreme floods represent one of the major natural hazard that affect highly populated countries, such as Italy. Besides hydraulic hazard, geomorphological hazard due to channel dynamics should be taken into account, specifically in alluvial rivers. Channel dynamics (i.e. channel lateral mobility, changes in bed elevation and intense sediment transport) can cause severe damages to human properties and infrastructures. The main purposes of this work are to provide a quantitative assessment of geomorphic effects due to extreme events (recurrence interval > 100 years) and the development and application of new tools to asses and predict fluvial dynamics and related geomorphological hazard in Italian rivers in different physiographic and climatic settings. The research mainly focuses on (i) the evaluation of the main controlling factors affecting the geomorphic response to extreme ...
