Simulation analysis of rockfall movement characteristics with debris slope using Unity3D based on UAV remote sensing DSM: a case study of the G318 Highway on the Tibetan Plateau

Frontiers in Ecology and Evolution, 2023
Rockfalls on debris slopes pose a significant hazard to canyon roads on the Tibetan Plateau. In order to assess risks and develop effective engineering solutions, it is crucial to fully understand the characteristics and processes of rockfall movement ...

The paleolandscape evolution of the southwestern coast of Sardinia (Italy) and its impact on Mesolithic settlements

Journal of Maps, 2023
We present a geomorphological map of the southwestern coast of Sardinia encompassing inland and offshore areas of the S’Omu e S’Orku Mesolithic site. The submerged area was documented by high-resolution multibeam bathymetry combined with Side-Scan Sonar ...

Stability Analysis of a Landslide Scarp by Means of Virtual Outcrops: The Mt. Peron Niche Area (Masiere di Vedana Rock Avalanche, Eastern Southern Alps)

Frontiers in Earth Science, 2022
We investigated the Mt. Peron niche area of the Masiere di Vedana rock avalanche (BL), one of the major mass movements that affected the Eastern Southern Alps in historical times.

Lava dome growth and mass wasting measured by a time series of ground-based radar and seismicity observations [PDF]

, 2008
Exogenous growth of Peléean lava domes involves the addition of lava from a central summit vent and mass wasting on the flanks as rockfalls and pyroclastic flows.

To Fill or Not to Fill: Sensitivity Analysis of the Influence of Resolution and Hole Filling on Point Cloud Surface Modeling and Individual Rockfall Event Detection

Remote Sensing, 2015
Monitoring unstable slopes with terrestrial laser scanning (TLS) has been proven effective. However, end users still struggle immensely with the efficient processing, analysis, and interpretation of the massive and complex TLS datasets.

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.

Repetitive Rockfall Trajectory Testing [PDF]

Geosciences, 2018
Numerical simulations of rockfall trajectories are a standard procedure for evaluating rockfall hazards. For these simulations, corresponding software codes must be calibrated and evaluated based on field data. This study addresses methods of repeatable rockfall tests, and investigates whether it is possible to produce traceable and statistically ...
