| Abstract | The Fourth International Conference on Debris-Flow Hazards Mitigation: Mechanics, Prediction, and Assessment was held in Chengdu, China, September 10-13, 2007. The major objectives of the Conference were to provide a forum for debris-flow researchers in the international community to exchange ideas on how to cope with debris-flow hazards using the most advanced, state-of-the-art methodology, and to promote technology transfer from debris-flow mechanics to hazard prediction and risk assessment. The Conference also assisted knowledge transfer from scientists to engineers and administrative authorities, or vice versa, dealing with debris-flow hazards assessment and risk management. The Proceedings contains 71 peer-reviewed papers, which cover a variety of topics, ranging from factors and mechanisms triggering debris flows to hazards assessment and risk management. These papers were written by authors from Asia, Oceania, India, Europe, South America, and North America, and all were presented in oral sessions of the technical program in the Conference. The conference sessions were preceded by a field trip to Jiuzhaigou Valley, northern Sichuan Province to examine debris-flow mitigation measures and followed by another field trip to learn about debris-flow research at the renowned Dongchuan Debris Flow Observation and Research Station in Jiangjiagou Gully, northern Yunnan Province. All the papers in the Proceedings have undergone peer review. In the first round of the review process, each of the submitted manuscripts was sent to at least two reviewers who took time reviewing and evaluating the assigned manuscripts. All manuscripts that received at least two positive reviews were accepted for inclusion in the Proceedings. For those manuscripts that received conflicting reviews, each Editor scrutinized the quality and content of the manuscripts and the issues raised in the reviews. After scrutiny by both Editors, such manuscripts, if appraised to be technically acceptable, were further overhauled by authors in a second round of reviews. After required revisions, all accepted manuscripts were appropriately, if not thoroughly, edited for inclusion in the Proceedings and presented at the Conference. Considerable time and efforts were spent by the reviewers to conduct the peer review of all manuscripts submitted before the Conference. We acknowledge the important assistance of the reviewers, whose names and affiliations are given on the following pages. The success of the Conference is reflected by the large number of high-quality contributions in the Proceedings. Special thanks are due to the members of the International Organizing Committee who substantially assisted in the review process of the submitted abstracts and later the submitted manuscripts. |
