Abstract. Forests are rockfall-protective ecological infrastructures as a significant amount of kinetic energy is absorbed during consecutive rock–tree impacts. Although many recent works have considered rock impacts with standing trees, the effect lying deadwood in forests has not yet been thoroughly, either experimentally or numerically. Here, we present complete examination induced rockfall ...

Remote sensing constitutes an advantageous tool towards the landslide/rockfall susceptibility mapping by incorporating optical satellite or radar data and photogrammetric in Geographical Information System environment. A plethora of rockfall can be derived gigital surface models (DSMs). This article focuses on effect spatial resolution DSMs investigations solely. with pixel size ranging from 5 ...

Abstract. A rockfall dataset for Germany is analysed with the objective of identifying meteorological and hydrological (pre-)conditions that change probability such events in central Europe. The factors investigated analysis are precipitation amount intensity, freeze–thaw cycles, subsurface moisture. As there no suitable observational all relevant moisture types (e.g. water rock pores cleft wat...
