Unlike fragmental rockfall runout assessments, there are only few robust methods to quantify rock-massfailure susceptibilities at regional scale. A detailed slope angle analysis of recent Digital Elevation Models (DEM) canbe used to detect potential rockfall ...

In this paper, a DEM-based (Digital Elevation Models) geomorphometric approach is presented for detecting potential rockfall sources.

A factor limiting preliminary rockfall hazard mapping at regional scale is often the lack of knowledge of potential source areas. Nowadays, high resolution topographic data (LiDAR) can account for realistic landscape details even at large scale. With such ...
