High‐mountain geomorphic processes enjoy increasing scientific and societal interest. This
is because these processes are perceived to be changing more than elsewhere and …

Rockfall in high-mountain regions is thought to be changing due to accelerating climate
warming and permafrost degradation, possibly resulting in enhanced activity and larger …

The study of rockfall (volume> 100 m 3) in high mountains is essential to understand
landscape evolution and to evaluate natural hazard. The number of rockfalls seems actually …

Rockfall activity during thawing periods was investigated by collecting rockfall debris fallen
on the snow-covered talus slope in a cirque in the Japanese Alps. Near-surface rock …

In mountainous regions, global warming will likely affect the frequency and magnitude of
geomorphic processes. This is also the case for rockfall, one of the most common mass …

This study presents an evaluation of a comprehensive dataset with information on about 700
recorded rockfall events in Germany for the first time. The focus is on the analysis of monthly …

Worldwide, mountain forests represent a significant factor in reducing rockfall risk over long
periods of time on large potential disposition areas. While the economic value of technical …

Rockfall is a major threat to settlements and transportation routes in large parts of the Alps.
While protective forest stands in many locations undoubtedly reduce rockfall risk, little is …
