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 ...

Deep Underground Science and Engineering, EarlyView.Joint orientation significantly affects P‐wave velocity, with the highest velocity at zero‐degree angles, decreasing to 30° as the angle increases. The velocity increases slightly from 30 to 45 degrees but sharply decreases from 45 to 90 degrees. Abstract Determination of the required parameters in different science contexts using the ultrasonic wave ...
