Infrasound from Volcanic Rockfalls [PDF]
, 2015 Proximal infrasound arrays can robustly track rapidly moving gravity-driven mass wasting, which occurs commonly at erupting volcanoes. This study reports on detection, localization, and quantification of frequent small rockfalls and infrequent ...

A methodology for physically based rockfall hazard assessment [PDF]
, 2003 Rockfall hazard assessment is not simple to achieve in practice and sound, physically based assessment methodologies are still missing. The mobility of rockfalls implies a more difficult hazard definition with respect to other slope instabilities with

Modelling of rockfall motion [PDF]
, 2005 An analysis of natural hazards caused by rockfalls (common expression for falling stones and boulders; and other similar forms of gravitational mass movements) is an important element of risk management in mountainous regions.

Effects of Volcanic Emissions on Clouds During Kilauea Degassing Events [PDF]
Aerosols influence Earths radiative balance directly by scattering and absorbing solar radiation, and indirectly by modifying cloud properties. Current scientific consensus indicates that these effects may offset as much as 50% of the warming due to ...

Sapping Features of the Colorado Plateau: a Comparative Planetary Geology Field Guide [PDF]
This book is an attempt to determine geomorphic criteria to be used to distinguish between channels formed predominantly by sapping and seepage erosion and those formed principally by surface runoff processes.

Classifying seismic waveforms from scratch: a case study in the alpine environment [PDF]
, 2017 Nowadays, an increasing amount of seismic data is collected by daily observatory routines. The basic step for successfully analyzing those data is the correct detection of various event types.

Effect of rockfall fragmentation on exposure and subsequent risk analysis [PDF]
, 2018 Rockfalls are frequent natural processes in mountain regions with the potential to produce damage. The quantitative risk analysis (QRA) is an approach increasingly used to assess risk and evaluate the performance of mitigation measures.

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 ...

Methodology to evaluate rock slope stability under seismic conditions at Solà de Santa Coloma, Andorra [PDF]
, 2009 An analytical methodology is presented to evaluate rock slope stability under seismic conditions by considering the geomechanical and topographic properties of a slope.
