Spatiotemporal patterns and triggers of seismically detected rockfalls

, 2017
. Rockfalls are an essential geomorphic process and an important natural hazard in steep landscapes across the globe. Seismic monitoring can provide precise information on the timing, location and event anatomy of rockfalls, parameters that are otherwise

Rockfalls : Predicting high-risk behaviour from beliefs [PDF]

, 2010
Purpose – The purpose of this paper is to gain an understanding of the public's beliefs, attitudes and knowledge regarding rockfalls, and to see whether these variables could predict whether a person is likely to enter high-risk rockfall areas.

Disposition Model for Permafrost Degradation in Mountainous Regions

Permafrost and Periglacial Processes, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Permafrost is a widespread thermal phenomenon in Arctic and high mountain regions that, in combination with steep terrain, exerts a key control on slope stability. Its degradation in response to climatic warming can modify the likelihood and timing of rockfall, debris flow and related mass movements. Robust information on the current state and

Internal Structure, Kinematics, and Prehistory of Frozen Debris Lobe‐A (FDL‐A), Brooks Range, Alaska

Permafrost and Periglacial Processes, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Frozen Debris Lobe‐A (FDL‐A)—one of hundreds of FDLs in the Brooks Range of northern Alaska—is a slow‐moving landslide in permafrost that has been the subject of research since 2008 due to its close proximity to the Dalton Highway. Here, we synthesize more than a decade's worth of climate and surface measurements of monitored FDLs, and the ...

Numerical Modelling of Rock Fragmentation in Landslide Propagation: A Test Case

Geosciences
Landslides and rockfalls can negatively impact human activities and cause radical changes to the surrounding environment. For example, they can destroy entire buildings and roadway infrastructure, block waterways and create sudden dams, resulting in ...

How to Include Crowd-Sourced Photogrammetry in a Geohazard Observatory—Case Study of the Giant’s Causeway Coastal Cliffs

Remote Sensing, 2022
The Causeway Coast World Heritage Site (Northern Ireland) is subject to rockfalls occurring on the coastal cliffs, thus raising major safety concerns given the number of tourists visiting the site. However, such high tourist frequentation makes this site
