Rockfall triggering by cyclic thermal stressing of exfoliation fractures

BD Collins, GM Stock - Nature Geoscience, 2016‏ - nature.com
Exfoliation of rock deteriorates cliffs through the formation and subsequent opening of
fractures, which in turn can lead to potentially hazardous rockfalls. Although a number of …
