"Background: Glacier recession in mountainous regions is known to both reduce slope stability and also create potentially unstable proglacial lakes. Catastrophic mass flows can be generated by rock and/or ice avalanches which may enter recently formed proglacial lakes resulting in their catastrophic drainage. In the Aysen region of Chile, glacier recession has been implicated in recent aluviones which resulted in loss of life and infrastructure. Extreme rainfall is thought to have generated a landslide which incorporated glacier ice and water saturated surficial deposits to form an aluvion which partially destroyed the village of Villa Santa Lucia in December 2017. A recent (Oct. 2018) landslide in the Exploradores catchment entered a moraine-dammed lake generating an aluvion which blocked a valley, resulting in lake impoundment and secondary hazard generation. In order to reduce risk varied and complex mass flow generating process chains need to be better understood and modelled. Aims & Objectives: This project examines the controls on the occurence and frequency of catastrophic mass flows in the Aysen region of Chile. The project will conduct a detailed investigation of recent mass flows as well as examining the wider susceptibility of occurrence within the Aysen region given different glacier recession and climate change scenarios. Methods: Remote sensing and field data acquisition will allow: (1) reconstruction of recent catastrophic mass flow generation mechanisms and flow dynamics, and (2) identification of catastrophic mass flows from the sediment and landform record. Project links: The lead supervisor has worked in Chile on NERC-funded projects and has collaborative links with universities and government agencies in the Aysen region. Skills: Remote sensing, GIS, Surveying (dGPS, TLS), geomorphological mapping, debris flow and hydraulic modelling, sedimentology. "

“背景：众所周知，山区的冰川退缩既会降低斜坡的稳定性，也会产生潜在的不稳定的冰前湖。灾难性的物质流可以由岩石和/或冰雪崩产生，这些雪崩可能进入最近形成的冰前湖，导致其灾难性的排水。在智利的艾森地区，冰川衰退与最近的aluviones有关，导致生命和基础设施的损失。极端降雨被认为产生了山体滑坡，其中包括冰川冰和水饱和的表层沉积物，形成了一个aluvion，部分摧毁了2017年12月的Villa圣露西亚村。最近（2018年10月），Exploradores流域的山体滑坡进入了一个冰碛湖，产生了一个堵塞山谷的aluvion，导致湖泊蓄水和次生灾害的产生。为了降低风险，需要更好地理解和建模各种复杂的质量流生成过程链。目的和目标：本项目审查对智利艾森地区灾难性物质流发生和频率的控制。该项目将对最近的物质流动进行详细调查，并研究在不同的冰川衰退和气候变化情景下，艾森地区发生的更广泛的敏感性。研究方法：遥感和现场数据采集将允许：（1）重建最近的灾难性物质流的产生机制和流动动力学，（2）从沉积物和地形记录中识别灾难性物质流。项目链接：首席主管曾在智利参与NERC资助的项目，并与艾森地区的大学和政府机构建立了合作关系。技能：遥感、地理信息系统、测量（dGPS、TLS）、地貌制图、泥石流和水力建模、沉积学。"
