Abstract

Debris flow kinetics in planetary environments represent a critical intersection of geomorphology, fluid mechanics, and planetary science. These gravity-driven flow mixtures of solids, liquids, and gases play a key role in shaping planetary surfaces and recording environmental histories. This study adopts a systems perspective to analyze debris flow behavior across different planetary contexts, emphasizing the interconnected roles of material properties, energy transformations, and environmental forcing. By integrating rheological models with systems dynamics, we capture the nonlinear interactions governing initiation, propagation, and deposition phases. The framework considers variable gravity, atmospheric pressure, and volatile composition factors that significantly alter flow kinetics on bodies such as Mars, Titan, and Venus compared to Earth. Incorporating both continuum and discrete modeling approaches, the study explores feedback loops among slope processes, phase transitions, and surface–atmosphere coupling. Machine learning and remote sensing data are proposed as tools for parameter estimation and validation using planetary mission datasets. The systems approach reveals that debris flow behavior is an emergent property arising from multiscale interactions between thermal, mechanical, and chemical subsystems. Understanding these processes offers new insights into planetary surface evolution, sediment transport mechanisms, and transient liquid activity, with implications for both geological interpretation and future mission design. Ultimately, this work highlights the necessity of holistic modeling combining physics-based kinetics with systems theory to advance our comprehension of debris flow dynamics across diverse planetary environments
