An evidence-based flood hazard analysis in mountain streams requires the identification and the quantitative characterisation of multiple possible processes. These processes result from specific triggering mechanisms on the hillslopes (i.e. landslides, debris flows), in-channel morphodynamic...

We restudy the phase diagram of the 2D-Ising model with competing interactions J<Subscript>1</Subscript> on nearest neighbour and J<Subscript>2</Subscript> on next-nearest neighbour bonds via Monte-Carlo simulations. We present the finite temperature phase diagram and introduce computational methods which allow us to calculate transition...</subscript></subscript>
