Yosemite Valley has experienced over 600 rock falls since 1850, but determining the exact source areas, volumes, and failure mechanisms for these rock falls has previously been difficult because of a lack of comprehensive imagery of the cliff faces. We obtained ...

Since its inception in 1835, the British Geological Survey (BGS) has been responsible for providing much of the earth science related information that is required by government, the public and institutions. These requirements have evolved over time, with emphasis ...

Canadian railways are exposed to various ground hazards because of the diverse geographic regions of the country. Keegan (2007) analysed these hazards and proposed hazard scenarios to evaluate the influence of these hazards on railway operations. Process modelling ...

By means of a literature search, technical interviews, and field inventory, I have located 254 large (at least 10 m high) dams worldwide that directly interact with landslides; that is, they have been built on pre-existing landslides or have been subjected ...

Landslides from massive rock slope failure (MRSF) are a major geological hazard in many parts of the world. Hazard assessment is made difficult by a variety of complex initial failure processes and unpredictable post-failure behaviour, which includes transformation ...

Risk analysis and risk evaluation are increasingly used tools for mitigating geohazards. It is commonly accepted that risk is basically a function of likelihood and consequence. However, the quantification of the likelihood of a geohazard occurring, as well ...
