Evaluating earthquake-induced rockfall hazard near the Dead Sea Transform [PDF]
Natural Hazards and Earth System Sciences, 2019 We address an approach for rockfall hazard evaluation where the study area resides below a cliff in an a priori exposure to rockfall hazard, but no historical documentation of rockfall events is available and hence important rockfall hazard parameters ...

Comparing rockfall scar volumes and kinematically detachable rock masses [PDF]
, 2017 Scenario-based risk assessment for rockfalls, requires assumptions for different scenarios of magnitude (volume). The magnitude of such instabilities is related to the properties of the jointed rock mass, with the characteristics of the existing ...

Is climate change causing increased rockfall frequency in Austria? [PDF]
Natural Hazards and Earth System Sciences, 2012 Potentially, increasing rockfall hazards triggered by climate change are a major concern expressed both in scientific and non-scientific media. An existing rockfall inventory for Austria including 252 events from ca.

Characterizing geologic and climatic controls on rockfall hazards using an inventory and integrated kinematic and runout model: Skagway, Alaska, USA [PDF]
Natural Hazards and Earth System SciencesRockfall is common in steep terrain and poses a hazard to nearby communities. While rockfall triggering mechanisms are highly variable and difficult to quantify, the susceptibility of rock slopes to planar, wedge, or toppling failure can be readily ...
