Journal of Geophysical Research: Earth Surface, 2018 AbstractExtremely energetic rockfalls (EERs) are defined here as rockfalls for which a combination of both large volume and free fall height of hundreds of meters results in energy larger than about 80 GJ released in a short time. Examples include several events worldwide.
