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
