<p>In this study, dendrogeomorphic techniques are employed to analyse the temporal frequency and spatial distribution of rockfalls on a talus slope of La Teta valley, located on the NW slopes of Cofre de Perote volcano at ~4000 m above sea level. Based on ...

<p>Rockfall is a dangerous geomorphological process. The prediction of potentially threatened areas requires thorough reconstruction of spatial rockfall activity. Dendrogeomorphic methods allow precise determination of both temporal and spatial occurrences ...

<p>Flexible, light-weight wire ring-net barriers are used to stop falling rocks serving as<br />protection for villages and roadways in mountainous regions. The steel wire-ring nets are difficult to model because of their complex geometry. The rings consist ...

<p>The geological structure of Greece (frequent occurrence of rock formations, existence of faults and fracturing of rocks), the steep topography and mountainous terrain as well as its high seismicity, creates a significant rockfall hazard. During the last ...

<p>To fully understand the protection effect of the forest, the single tree behaviour must be accurately known. However, trees are complex biomechanical systems especially regarding their interactions with rock boulders. A single tree dissipates energy during ...
