The textural characteristics of rocks influence their petrophysical and mechanical properties.
Such parameters largely control rock mass stability. The ability to evaluate both immediate …

Giant rockslides are widespread and sensitive to hydrological forcing, especially in climate
change scenarios. They creep slowly for centuries and then can fail catastrophically posing …

Abstract Deep-Seated Gravitational Slope Deformations (DSGSDs) are complex, slope-
scale, gravity-driven phenomena, which are placed between landslide movements ss and …

This paper presents the influence of temperature on the residual strength by analyzing
shearing tests carried out in a temperature-and velocity-controlled ring shear apparatus …

In the last several decades, population growth in the cities of the Andes has caused urban
areas to expand into landslide-prone areas. Fatal landslides affecting urban settlements are …

This study presents a multi-disciplinary approach for combining geological-
geomorphological field map** with different surface deformation monitoring techniques (ie …

The behavior of slow‐moving landslides is controlled by the residual strength of the shear
zone. Despite their mobile state, such slides can often withstand extreme events such as …

The interplay of tectonic and climatic forcing in the development of Alpine deep-seated
gravitational slope deformations (DSGSD) is still poorly understood. We investigate a giant …

The active deep-seated Marzellkamm rock slide is situated in the high mountainous region
of Tyrol (Austria), which has been subjected to the most recent deglaciation since the Little …

Rockfalls are a major aspect concerning morphodynamics in high mountain areas and
represent a serious hazard for people and infrastructure. Recently, an increase of rockfall …
