There are on average 35 fatal mountaineering accidents per summer in France. On average,
since 1990, 3.7 of them have occurred every summer in the Grand Couloir du Goûter, on the …

In high alpine environments, climate change leads to an increase in rockfall destabilizations.
They represent a threat for sports and tourism activities in high mountain and especially for …

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 …

Rockfalls are a major aspect concerning morphodynamics in high mountain areas and
represent a serious hazard for people and infrastructure. Recently, an increase of rockfall …

Due to a lack of systematic observations, the intensity and volume of rock falls and rock
avalanches in high mountain areas are still poorly known. Nevertheless, these phenomena …

Rockfalls are one of the most common instability processes in high mountains. They
represent a relevant issue, both for the risks they represent for (infra) structures and …

This study exploited the historical rockfall inventory and the meteorological stations
database of Mont Cervin and Mont Emilius Mountain Communities (Aosta Valley, northern …

Rockfalls are a major and essentially unpredictable sources of danger, particularly along
transportation routes (roads and railways). Thus, the assessment of their probability of …

High mountain environments are increasingly affected by rockfall‐related hazards, driven by
climate change. Studying rockfall in these environments is, however, challenging due to the …

Climate change is seriously affecting the cryosphere in terms, for example, of permafrost
thaw, alteration of rain∕ snow ratio, and glacier shrinkage. There is concern about the …
