Baseline Rockfall Rates and Rockfall Protection in Virginia [PDF]
, 2010 Current approaches to rockfall hazard and risk mitigation have been dominated by a model in which rockfall is treated as a global slope stability phenomenon which is mainly triggered by precipitation, freeze-thaw, or root wedging. The methods implemented

Spatial analysis of rockfall activity, bounce heights and geomorphic changes over the last 50 years – A case study using dendrogeomorphology [PDF]
, 2008 Tree-ring series have been used to reconstruct 50 years of rockfall behavior on a slope near Saas Balen (Swiss Alps). A total of 796 cores and 141 cross sections from 191 severely injured conifer trees (Larix decidua Mill., Picea abies (L.) Karst.

Sedimentology, Volume 73, Issue 5, Page 1378-1402, August 2026.ABSTRACT Tsunami deposits serve as geological records of past events and are essential for understanding the occurrence and dynamics of tsunamis. However, conventional research has largely focused on sandy and boulder deposits, leaving gravel‐dominated tsunami deposits comparatively underexplored; furthermore, their characteristics and formation ...

A review of studies dealing with tree rings and rockfall activity: the role of dendrogeomorphology in natural hazard research [PDF]
, 2006 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

Archaeology in Oceania, Volume 61, Issue 2, Page 253-276, July 2026.ABSTRACT In this paper we report on faunal remains recovered from a legacy archaeological excavation undertaken in the rockshelter entrance of Waribruk (New Guinea II Cave), a GunaiKurnai site located on the west bank of the Snowy River, East Gippsland, southeastern Australia.

TreeMig framework ver. 1.0: an R package with GUI to simulate spatio‐temporal forest dynamics
Ecography, Volume 2026, Issue 7, July 2026.Spatio‐temporal vegetation models are essential for simulating dynamics and shifts in species distributions over large areas, particularly under global change. One such model is the dynamic forest landscape model TreeMig. We have developed a framework that makes the model more user‐friendly, improves its functionality, and expands its possibilities ...

Methods for predicting rockfall trajectories and runout zones [PDF]
Rockfall hazard assessment without the use of rockfall trajectory and runout zone models is unthinkable in the 21st century. Such rockfall models have existed since the sixties, but nowadays an almost confusing palette of rockfall trajectory and runout ...

Earth Surface Processes and Landforms, Volume 51, Issue 7, July 2026.We modified the SedCas model to assess how glacier retreat, vegetation growth, and sediment availability and erosion timing affect debris flow activity in Langtang and Mustang, Nepal. Results reveal that landscape change reduces sediment supply and runoff response, making debris flows smaller and less seasonally concentrated under future conditions ...

Rockfall hazard zoning for land use planning [PDF]
Rockfall constitute a serious threat to communities living in mountainous areas all over the world, and their potential hazard must be taken into account for an appropriate land use planning and for establishing risk mitigation measures.

Stress redistribution following landslides: Insights from 3D stress modelling of mountain topography
Earth Surface Processes and Landforms, Volume 51, Issue 7, July 2026.We present a novel numerical workflow adapting the Finite Cell Method directly to digital elevation models to simulate near‐surface stress fields. The models demonstrate that topographic unloading via slope failure dramatically reduces localized peak shear stresses but actively redistributes elastic loads onto adjacent slopes, driving progressive ...
