The application of Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAVs), commonly known as drones, in
geological, geomorphological, and geotechnical studies has gained significant attention due …

This paper presents a novel, cost-effective method for a rapid and quantitative
characterization of discontinuities in fractured rock cliffs using Unmanned Aerial Vehicle …

Geothermal reservoirs are highly anisotropic and heterogeneous, and thus require a variety
of structural geology, geomechanical, remote sensing, geophysical and hydraulic …

The increased accessibility of drone technology and structure from motion 3D scene
reconstruction have transformed the approach for mapping inaccessible slopes undergoing …

Fracture stratigraphy study for a subsurface sedimentary rock sequence can be a
challenging and demanding task. Typically, the data obtained from seismic and well-logs …

Many large deltas and other areas, underlain by unconsolidated sediments, are heavily
populated but impacted by various natural deformational processes. The causes and …

The stability of a rock slope is strongly influenced by the pattern of groundwater flow through
the fracture system, which may lead to an increase in the water pressure in partly open joints …

A digitally supported rock mass stability analysis is herein presented for the implementation
of non-contact close-range remote surveys against landslide hazard in sheltered …

The triggering of shallow landslides in granular deposits is highly controlled by the
groundwater regime, namely, the pore water pressure distribution, which directly affects soil …

Landslides are one of the most hazardous secondary effects of earthquakes due to the
potential for large-scale damage and long-term alterations to landscapes. During the 2016 …
