Although the general concept that escarpments in layered rocks retreat through time was
offered more than 150 years ago, recognizing the exact mechanisms, patterns and rates of …

This study focuses on the Kuibyshev reservoir (Volga River basin, Russia)—the largest in
Eurasia and the third in the world by area (6150 km2). The objective of this paper is to …

In the mountainous areas passed by the Sichuan–Tibet Railway, rockfall is one of the
important geological hazards with characteristics of unpredictable and sudden occurrences …

High-steep slope information collection and multistep rocky slope stability analysis play an
important role in slope engineering. However, traditional on-site investigations suffer from …

Cultural heritage studies often require the analysis of buildings that have undergone several
changes and alterations during their lifetime. This often implies the loss of architectural …

Surface monitoring of landfills is crucial not only during their operation but also for later land
restoration and development. Measurements concern environmental factors, such as …

This study presents the synergy of multidisciplinary surveys for the monitoring of an active
landslide in Western Greece. The aim of this paper is to highlight and validate a …

The mechanisms controlling the onset of minor slope instability at the edges of rocky
plateaux exhibiting lateral spreading phenomena are yet to be fully understood. Hypotheses …

Overhanging rock slopes (steeper than 90°) are typically avoided in rock engineering
design, particularly where the scale of the slope exceeds the scale of fracturing present in …

Steep, hardly accessible cliffs of rhyolite tuff in NE Hungary are prone to rockfalls,
endangering visitors of a castle. Remote sensing techniques were employed to obtain data …
