Landslides are one of the most important geohazards. In 2004–2016, more than 55,000
people lost their lives to landslides and this does not include deaths caused by seismically …

This paper investigates the characteristics of dynamic rock fragmentation and its influence
on the postfailure fragment trajectory. A series of numerical simulations by discrete element …

It is well known that satellite radar interferometry (InSAR) is capable of measuring surface
displacement with a typical accuracy on the order of millimeters to centimeters. However …

Determining the link between permafrost and the displacement rates of large unstable rock-
slopes (LURSs) is fundamental for understanding future hazard scenarios and establishing …

The dynamic fragmentation of jointed rock blocks during rockslide avalanches has been
investigated by discrete element method simulations for a multiple arrangement of a rock …

Rockfalls are very rapid and damaging slope instability processes that affect mountainous
regions, coastal cliffs and slope cuts. This contribution focuses on fragmental rockfalls in …

The warming and subsequent degradation of mountain permafrost within alpine areas
represent an important process influencing the stability of steep slopes and rock faces. The …

An integrated approach to the geomechanical characterization of coastal sea cliffs was
applied at Mt. Pucci (Gargano promontory, Southern Italy) by performing field-based …

Large catastrophic rock-slope failures are a serious threat to humans because they cannot
be controlled by any physical measures• they can be highly mobile and reach areas several …

Dissemination of research results is an important part of basic as well as applied research if
not the most important one. A large part of research results is published in scientific …
