In the French Alps, S´echilienne rockslide is one of the natural phenomena presenting the highest risk in terms of socio-economical outcomes. This rockslide has been active for a few decades, and has been instrumented since 1985. The current very active volume ...

Accelerating displacements preceding some catastrophic landslides have been found to display a finite time singularity of the velocity v. Here we provide a physical basis for this phenomenological law based on a slider block model using a state- and velocity-dependent ...

We study the rock fall volume distribution for three rock fall inventories and we fit the observed data by a power-law distribution, which has recently been proposed to describe landslide and rock fall volume distributions, and is also observed for many other ...
