Rockfall analyses and rockfall protection at the Raspadalica Rockfall, Croatia
, 2022 The Raspadalica rockfall is well known location with numerous rockfall occurrences from 100 m high limestone cliff in the past that caused significant damages and victims at the railway Buzet - Pula in Istria, Croatia. Structural and kinematic analysis of possible future rockfall were carried out following the modern approaches and recent techniques in

Influencing factors the rockwall retreat of flysch cliffs on the Slovenian coast
Acta Geographica Slovenica, 2012 This study identifies factors that affect the speed of rockwall retreat of flysch cliffs between Kane Point and Strunjan on the Slovenian coast. Individual factors were combined in a geographical information system with mapped recent erosion features ...

Forensic analysis of rockfall scars [PDF]
Geomorphology, 2017 Abstract We characterise and analyse the detachment (scar) surfaces of rockfalls to understand the mechanisms that underpin their failure. Rockfall scars are variously weathered and comprised of both discontinuity release surfaces and surfaces indicative of fracturing through zones of previously intact rock, known as rock bridges.

Deep Underground Science and Engineering, EarlyView.Joint orientation significantly affects P‐wave velocity, with the highest velocity at zero‐degree angles, decreasing to 30° as the angle increases. The velocity increases slightly from 30 to 45 degrees but sharply decreases from 45 to 90 degrees. Abstract Determination of the required parameters in different science contexts using the ultrasonic wave ...

Permafrost and Periglacial Processes, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Across circumpolar permafrost regions, climate change is destabilizing ice‐rich hillslopes, increasing the frequency and magnitude of thaw‐driven mass wasting. This paper reviews recent studies (2013–2024) on thaw‐driven mass wasting, focusing on the processes, morphology and trajectories of geomorphic change and their implications for ...
