Kellerer‐Pirklbauer, A., Lieb, GK, Avian, M. and Carrivick, J., 2012. Climate change and rock
fall events in high mountain areas: numerous and extensive rock falls in 2007 at Mittlerer …

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 …

Abstract Since the Little Ice Age, high alpine regions have faced rapid glacier melting that
has contributed to enhanced rockfall activity at recently deglaciated rockwalls. At the …

This paper presents data derived from extensive rockfall investigations in the Karwendel
Mountains and in the Ammer Mountains near the German-Austrian border. The rock faces in …

The ongoing debate about the effects of changes in the high-mountain cryosphere on
rockfalls and rock avalanches suggests a need for more knowledge about characteristics …

In mountain geosystems, rockfalls are among the most effective sediment transfer
processes, reflected in the regional-scale distribution of talus slopes. However, the …

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 …

Glacier retreat and permafrost changes, as related to climate change, are supposed to affect
stability conditions of steep rock walls in cold mountain ranges. Several rock-fall events …

Potentially, increasing rockfall hazards triggered by climate change are a major concern
expressed both in scientific and non-scientific media. An existing rockfall inventory for …
