Highly energetic rockfalls: back analysis of the 2015 event from the Mel de la Niva, Switzerland
Landslides, 2023 Process-based rockfall simulation models attempt to better emulate rockfall dynamics to different degrees. As no model is perfect, their development is often accompanied and validated by the valuable collection of rockfall databases covering a range of ...

Statistical correlation between meteorological and rockfall databases [PDF]
Natural Hazards and Earth System Sciences, 2014 Rockfalls are a major and essentially unpredictable sources of danger, particularly along transportation routes (roads and railways). Thus, the assessment of their probability of occurrence is a major challenge for risk management.

Rockfalls: analysis of the block fragmentation through field experiments
Landslides, 2022 Fragmentation is a common feature of rockfall that exerts a strong control on the trajectories of the generated blocks, the impact energies, and the runout.

Effects of Wildfire on Rockfall Occurrence: A Review through Actual Cases in Spain
Applied Sciences, 2021 Understanding processes and conditions that lead to rockfalls during and after a wildfire in different geological contexts is crucial since this phenomenon is one of the major hazards in mountainous regions across Europe.

Deciphering meteorological influencing factors for Alpine rockfalls: a case study in Aosta Valley
Landslides, 2021 This study exploited the historical rockfall inventory and the meteorological stations database of Mont Cervin and Mont Emilius Mountain Communities (Aosta Valley, northern Italy) to decipher relationships between climate processes, typical of mountain ...
