China has a significant portion of land in landslide-prone areas, and remote sensing
technologies are becoming a tool of choice to investigate and monitor landslides. Although …

This paper presents a short history of the appraisal of laser scanner technologies in
geosciences used for imaging relief by high-resolution digital elevation models (HRDEMs) …

Photogrammetry and geosciences have been closely linked since the late 19th century due
to the acquisition of high-quality 3-D data sets of the environment, but it has so far been …

Background The current availability of advanced remote sensing technologies in the field of
landslide analysis allows for rapid and easily updatable data acquisitions, improving the …

Geological structures such as folds, faults, and discontinuities play a critical role in the
stability and behaviour of both natural and engineered rock slopes. Although engineering …

In the last two decades, significant research has been conducted in the field of automated
extraction of rock mass discontinuity characteristics from three-dimensional (3D) models …

Rock mass characterization requires a deep geometric understanding of the discontinuity
sets affecting rock exposures. Recent advances in Light Detection and Ranging (LiDAR) …

Rockfall is an extremely rapid process involving long travel distances. Due to these features,
when an event occurs, the ability to take evasive action is practically zero and, thus, the risk …

This manuscript presents a review on the application of a remote sensing technique
(terrestrial laser scanning, TLS) to a well‐known topic (rock slope characterization and …

The application of advanced remote sensing technologies, including terrestrial laser
scanning (TLS), to the Earth sciences has increased rapidly in the last two decades …
