Landslide Activity in the European Alps ‐ Part 1: A Machine Learning Based Instrumental Catalog From the Analysis of Seismological Data

Journal of Geophysical Research: Earth Surface, Volume 131, Issue 4, April 2026.
Abstract Landslides in the European Alps are a growing concern in the context of climate change. However, landslide catalogs for the European Alps remain incomplete, often lacking precise timing and containing few, if any, entries for remote areas.

A Review of Studies Dealing with Tree Rings and Rockfall Activity: The Role of Dendrogeomorphology in Natural Hazard Research [PDF]

, 2018
Over the last few years, rockfall research has increasingly focused on hazard assessment and risk analysis. Input data on past rockfall activity were gathered from historical archives and lichenometric studies or were obtained through frequency-volume ...

Probabilistic analysis of rockfall frequencies during an andesite lava dome eruption:The Soufrière Hills Volcano, Montserrat [PDF]

, 2005
A probabilistic analysis of rockfalls has been undertaken using seismometer-determined information on the timing and duration of rockfalls from the Soufrière Hills lava dome, Montserrat, between 1995 and 1997.

Twenty‐Three Years of Landslide Activity in the European Alps–Part 2: Investigating Triggers and the Impacts of Meteorological Change on Landslide Occurrences

Journal of Geophysical Research: Earth Surface, Volume 131, Issue 4, April 2026.
Abstract Landslides represent one of the most devastating natural hazards in mountainous regions, posing significant threats to human safety, infrastructure and ecosystems. It is well established that there is a connection between meteorological factors and landslide occurrences but the mechanisms of these interactions and the impacts of climatic ...

Rock Face Temperature Variability From Long‐Term High‐Frequency Infrared Thermography

Journal of Geophysical Research: Earth Surface, Volume 131, Issue 4, April 2026.
Abstract Changes in rock‐surface temperature generate thermal stresses and freeze–thaw conditions that can generate rockfalls. Capturing the full range of temperature variation, from seasonal variability to hourly extremes, is important, but data sets recording such characteristics with sufficient temporal and spatial resolution remain scarce, limiting

Study on the method of estimating the volume of fragmental rockfall based on image recognition

Shuiwen dizhi gongcheng dizhi
There are frequent cataclastic rockfall disasters in southwest mountainous areas. To accurately simulate the process of rockfall movement and quantify the risk of rockfall, it must first determine the volume of rockfall.

Energy absorption of sand cushions in rockfall impact: Effect of impact angle [PDF]

EPJ Web of Conferences
Energy absorption effects of topsoil and talus in mitigating rockfall impacts should be properly evaluated to design effective countermeasures against rockfalls.

Early Holocene jökulhlaup chronology and deglaciation dynamics in central Iceland

Boreas, Volume 55, Issue 2, Page 340-355, April 2026.
Glacial lake outburst floods (jökulhlaups) have occurred throughout the Quaternary in glaciated regions worldwide. Reconstructing flood chronology yields insight into deglaciation processes, environmental change and the role of extreme events in landscape evolution.
