Geophysical mass flows impacting flexible barriers can create complex flow patterns and
multiway solid‐fluid‐structure interactions, wherein estimates of impact loads rely …

Rockfall simulations are often performed at various levels of detail depending on the
required safety margins of rockfall-hazard-related assessments. As a pseudo benchmark …

Ischia Island is a volcano-tectonic horst in the Phlegrean Volcanic District, Italy. We
investigated rockfalls in Ischia using STONE, a three-dimensional model for simulating …

Many rockfall simulation software provide great flexibility to the user at the expense of a
hardly achievable parameter unification. With sensitive site-dependent parameters that are …

Understanding the dynamics of snow avalanches is crucial for predicting their destructive
potential and mobility. To gain insight into avalanche dynamics at a particle level, the …

Block size and shape depend on the state of fracturing of the rock mass and, consequently,
on the geometrical features of the discontinuity sets (mainly orientation, spacing, and …

We present new geochronological data derived from hillslope boulder armor in the Flint Hills
in northeastern KS, United States, that provides insights into the rates and timing of lateral …

In this paper, an advanced rheological model for impacts of ellipsoidal blocks on deformable
ground surfaces, introducing the effects of block eccentricity and orientation at impact, is …

The presence of discontinuities in fractured rocks contributes to the formation of blocks.
Characterizing the size and shape of the congregation of blocks in the rock mass provides a …

Studying how deadwood mitigates the rockfall hazard in mountain forests is key to
understanding the influence of climate-induced disturbances on the protective capacity of …
