Marcello Garcia (part 2) on Sedimentation Hazards, the Bulle Effect, and Transport Paradigms
Jan 26, 2024 Season 3 Episode 3
Stanford Gibson

In the previous episode, we talked to Dr. Marcelo Garcia about the astonishing compilation of sediment science he edited, the ASCE Sedimentation Manual.   

In this episode, we turn to some of his work, covering a wide range of topics, but landing for a while on sedimentation hazards including mud and debris flows, the Bulle Effect, and two transport paradigms (the Bagnold vs the Einstein approaches).  

Dr. Garcia is professor at the University of Illinois-Urbana and the director of the Ven Te Chow hydraulic lab.  


This series was funded by the Regional Sediment Management (RSM) program.

Stanford Gibson (HEC Sediment Specialist) hosts.

Mike Loretto edited the episode and wrote and performed the music.

Video shorts and other bonus content are available at the podcast website:

...but most of the supplementary videos are available on the HEC Sediment YouTube channel:
