On the influence of topographic, geological and cryospheric factors on rock avalanches and rockfalls in high-mountain areas
The ongoing debate about the effects of changes in the high-mountain cryosphere on rockfalls and rock avalanches suggests a need for more knowledge about characteristics and distribution of recent rock-slope instabilities. This paper investigates 56 sites with slope failures between 1900 and 2007 in...
