Lidar-Derived Rockfall Inventory—An Analysis of the Geomorphic Evolution of Rock Slopes and Modifying the Rockfall Activity Index (RAI)

Remote Sensing, 2023
Rockfall presents a significant risk to the safety and economy of communities and infrastructure in mountainous regions. The recently-developed Rockfall Activity Index (RAI) utilizes high-resolution terrestrial lidar-derived digital elevation models (DEMs) of rock slopes to categorize a slope face into seven distinct morphological units, or “RAI ...

A review of the historic and present ecological role of aquatic and shoreline wood, from forest to deep sea

Biological Reviews, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The ecology of forests, their losses, and terrestrial wood decomposition dynamics have been intensively studied and reviewed. In the aquatic realm, reviews have concentrated on large wood (LW) in rivers and the transition from freshwater to marine environments in the Pacific Northwest of North America. However, a comprehensive global synthesis
