PROGRESSIVE FAILURE OF SHEETED ROCK SLOPES: THE 2009–2010 RHOMBUS WALL ROCK FALLS IN YOSEMITE VALLEY, CALIFORNIA, USA (2011)

Progressive rock-fall failures in natural rock slopes are common in many environments, but often elude detailed quantitative documentation and analysis. Here we present high-resolution photography, video, and laser scanning data that document spatial and temporal patterns of a 15-month-long sequence of at least 14 rock falls from the Rhombus Wall, a sheeted
granitic cliff in Yosemite Valley, California.
