Rock glaciers in Daxue Shan, south-eastern Tibetan Plateau: an inventory, their distribution, and their environmental controls [PDF]
Rock glaciers are typical periglacial landforms. They can indicate the existence of permafrost, and can also shed light on the regional geomorphological and climatic conditions under which they may have developed.

Geological structures and discontinuities in the rock are weak areas and groundwater infiltration pathways. The existence of geological structures and discontinuities will reduce the level of rock shear strength and the main implication is to increase ...

Application of discrete fracture networks (DFN) in the stability analysis of Delabole Slate Quarry, Cornwall, UK [PDF]
This is the author accepted manuscript. The final version is available from ARMA.50th US Rock Mechanics/Geomechanics Symposium, Houston, USA, 26-29 June 2016The failure mechanism of rock slopes is mainly controlled by the strength and orientation of ...

EQUIVALENT GEOLOGICAL STRENGTH INDEX (GSI) APPROACH WITH APPLICATION TO ROCK MASS SLOPE STABILITY
A considerable amount of slope stability analysis has been observed in jointed rock masses in which the GSI (Geological Strength Index) estimated at the outcropping level is considered input data to define the rock mass strength.

Earthquake‐induced landslide scenarios for seismic microzonation. Application to the Accumoli area (Rieti, Italy) [PDF]
Scenarios of earthquake-induced landslides are necessary for seismic microzonation (SM) studies since they must be integrated with the mapping of instability areas.

Rock avalanches and other landslides in the central Southern Alps of New Zealand: a regional study considering possible climate change impacts [PDF]
Slope instabilities in the central Southern Alps, New Zealand, are assessed in relation to their geological and topographic distribution, with emphasis given to the spatial distribution of the most recent failures relative to zones of possible permafrost
