Spatiotemporal characteristics of ground microtremor in advance of rockfalls [PDF]
Scientific Reports, 2022 Identifying cliffs that are prone to fall and providing a sufficient lead time for rockfall warning are crucial steps in disaster risk reduction and preventive maintenance work, especially that led by local governments. However, existing rockfall warning

Repetitive Rockfall Trajectory Testing [PDF]
Geosciences, 2018 Numerical simulations of rockfall trajectories are a standard procedure for evaluating rockfall hazards. For these simulations, corresponding software codes must be calibrated and evaluated based on field data.

Lessons learnt from a rockfall time series analysis: data collection, statistical analysis, and applications [PDF]
Natural Hazards and Earth System Sciences, 2023 Historical rockfall catalogues are important data sources for the investigation of the temporal occurrence of rockfalls, which is crucial information for rockfall hazard and risk assessments. However, such catalogues are rare and often incomplete.

Migration law for random parameters rockfall in steeply dipping coal seams
Frontiers in Earth Science, 2023 The migration process of rockfall has certain complexity and randomness in steeply dipping coal seams (SDCS). The three-dimensional random migration of rockfall with random parameters cannot be accurately simulated.

Modeling the effect of rockfall on forest development in a dynamic forest landscape model
Ecosphere, 2022 Mountain forests below rocky cliffs are regularly impacted by falling blocks. Rockfall thus increases tree mortality and can locally alter the forest structure.
