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 ...
