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.

Rockfall Zoning Based on Rockfall Trajectory in GIS Case: Haraz road (Emamzadeh Ali) – Amol [PDF]
جغرافیا و توسعه, 2013 In this paper, Geographic information system (GIS) modeling is used in combination with three-dimensional (3D) rockfall process modeling to assess rockfall hazards. The 3D rockfall model considers dynamic processes on a cell plane basis.
