Definition of an Operative Methodology for the Management of Rockfalls along with the Road Network
Sustainability, 2021 Rockfalls are widespread events in mountain areas worldwide. The management of this process can be done using different approaches. In this paper, we want to analyze the procedure that can be adopted to manage a rockfall event considering the safety of ...

Thin-skinned mass-wasting responsible for edifice-wide deformation at Arenal Volcano
Frontiers in Earth Science, 2014 The shape and stability of a volcano’s edifice depends on the relationship between eruption rate and the loss or redistribution of material due to erosion, mass-wasting or deformation.

Rockfall detection from terrestrial LiDAR point clouds: A clustering approach using R
Journal of Spatial Information Science, 2014 In this study we analyzed a series of terrestrial LiDAR point clouds acquired over a cliff in Puigcercos (Catalonia, Spain). The objective was to detect and extract individual rockfall events that occurred during a time span of six months and to ...

Statistical analysis of rockfall volume distributions: Implications for rockfall dynamics [PDF]
Journal of Geophysical Research: Solid Earth, 2003 We analyze the volume distribution of natural rockfalls on different geological settings (i.e., calcareous cliffs in the French Alps, Grenoble area, and granite Yosemite cliffs, California Sierra) and different volume ranges (i.e., regional and worldwide catalogs).

Deep Learning-Driven Detection and Mapping of Rockfalls on Mars
IEEE Journal of Selected Topics in Applied Earth Observations and Remote Sensing, 2020 The analysis of rockfall distribution and magnitude is a useful tool to study the past and current endogenic and exogenic activity of Mars. At the same time, tracks left by rockfalls provide insights into the mechanical properties of the Martian surface.

Rainfall and rockfalls in the Canary Islands: assessing a seasonal link
Natural Hazards and Earth System Sciences, 2020 . Rockfalls are frequent and harmful phenomena occurring in mountain ranges, coastal cliffs, and slope cuts. Although several natural processes occur in their formation and triggering, rainfall is one of the most common causes.
