The geometry and sedimentology of 49 talus slope deposits have been analysed in the French Alps to show the effects of snow avalanche activity on their characteristics. Twenty slopes are heavily avalanche-modified, 15 are snow-avalanche... more
Background. Rockfall hazards on open-pit highwalls are composed of two major associated risks, the chance of the rockfall itself and the area impacted by falling rock blocks or the runout zone. Rockfall trajectory assessment is essential... more
Rock fall hazard assessment is a very demanding problem because of the complexity of the involved physics and its intrinsic stochasticity. New powerful tools, developed in the last few years, are characterized by different degrees of... more
Bukit Takun is one of the remaining limestone hills within Klang Valley. The steep sided cliff faces of Bukit Takun make it a popular place for rock climbers. Located at Templer Park Rawang, Bukit Takun cliff is around 300 meter high and... more
Nowadays the use of remote monitoring sensors is a standard practice in landslide characterization and monitoring. In the last decades, technologies such as LiDAR, terrestrial and satellite SAR interferometry (InSAR) and photogrammetry... more
Rockfalls pose a substantial threat to ground transportation, due to their rapidity, destructive potential and high probability of occurrence on steep topographies, often found along roads and railway routes. Approaches for the assessment... more
The Historic Center of Florence, a UNESCO World Heritage Site, includes many examples of architecture characterized by rough-hewn rusticated block facades—a very common masonry technique in the Florentine Renaissance—made in Pietraforte... more

In this study, it was claimed that ROC analysis, which is used to determine to what extent medical diagnosis tests can be differentiated between patients and non-patients, can also be used to examine the discrimination of binary scored... more
In this study, terrestrial LiDAR is used to characterize the contribution of rock bridge fracturing and brittle damage to rockfall on the contact wall of an open-air glory hole at Diavik Diamond Mine. Rockfall scars are identified and... more

Starting on 24th August 2016, Central Italy was struck by a six-month earthquake sequence that caused 303 victims and extensive major damages to urban areas and infrastructures, in some cases entire villages needed complete rebuilding. In... more
The Earth's surface is constantly changing as material is redistributed by processes like slope failures, debris flows and floods. Although this is a natural part of landscape evolution, we perceive many of these processes as hazards.... more
