A little late to the party....but due to COVID19 our collaborative paper entitled, "Depositional mechanisms and morphology of debris flow: physical modelling", was recently awarded the best paper award in 2019 in Landslides journal by the International Consortium of Landslides, a partner NGO of UNESCO. We are grateful for the recognition of our collaborative efforts with IMHE, CAS (https://link.springer.com/article/10.1007/s10346-018-1095-9#author-information).
