Some Videos:

Hyperpycnal and Hypopycnal Flows: Here is the YT link for the embedded video below.

These videos are for terrestrial Debris Flows, but there are many similarities for submarine debris flows (e.g. upward coarsening).

Here is a classic U.S. Geological Survey film about debris flows. Here is the YT link for the embedded video below.

Here is a debris flow in Colorado, from 2003. This is the YT link for the embedded video below.

Here is a flash flood that has a debris flow at the beginning of the flood. Here is the YT link to the embedded video below.

Special Assignment Video

The links to these videos are listed for Thursday above. Below are two embedded versions of the same video.
