Dynamics of Rockslides and Rockfalls

More about the book

Focusing on the mechanisms of rockslides and rockfalls, this book employs a quantitative approach to assess the hazards posed by mass movements of rocks in mountainous regions. It calculates the range and velocity of these events to inform evacuation strategies and preventive measures. With examples from four continents, it highlights the critical need for such data in mitigating risks. This comprehensive resource is valuable for both practitioners and scientists involved in catastrophe prevention efforts.
