In this work, we exploit 19 datasets listing measurements of landslide size to determine the probability density of landslide volume, p(VL). We organize this paper by first giving a background to cummulative and non commulative frequency size distribution ...

Rock slides and rock falls are the most frequent types of slope movements in Yosemite National Park, California. In historical time (1857–2002) 392 rock falls and rock slides have been documented in the valley, and some of them have been mapped in detail. ...

<p>In this paper are presented the results of an attempt to assess rock fall hazards in the Yosemite Valley, using STONE, a physically-based rock fall simulation computer program.</p>

<p>We present a geomorphological method to evaluate landslide hazard and risk. The method is based on the recognition of existing and past landslides, on the scrutiny of the local geological and morphological setting, and on the study of site-specific and ...
