Abstract. For a quantitative assessment of debris flow risk, it is essential to consider not only the hazardous process itself but also perform an analysis its consequences. This should include estimation expected monetary losses as product hazard with given magnitude and vulnerability elements exposed. A quantifiable integrated approach both becoming required practice in risk reduction management. study aims at developing physical curves for flows through use dynamic run-out model. Dynamic...
Abstract. Debris flow hazard modelling at medium (regional) scale has been subject of various studies in recent years. In this study, zonation was carried out, incorporating information about debris initiation probability (spatial and temporal), the delimitation potential runout areas. out area Consortium Mountain Municipalities Valtellina di Tirano (Central Alps, Italy). The complexity phenomenon, variability local conditioning factors, lacking data limited use process-based models for zone...
Thermal weathering has a long-term (decadal to millenia) effect on the physical and mechanical properties of rocks can directly influence rockfall hazard. However, despite substantial research, processes rock degredation from thermal influences are not completely understood. This study analyzed data two, 3-meter-deep boreholes spaced approximately 1.8 km apart in western Yosemite Valley, California (USA) subject different regimes. The were drilled horizontally into lithologically...
Rock slopes worldwide are subject to the influence of atmospheric temperature variations, which affect evolution stresses and strains on short long-time scales. Climate change is expected alter thermal regimes rock slopes, possibly exacerbating processes related mechanical weathering gravitational dynamics. Although current conditions a slope can be quantified using in-situ monitoring, forecasting their future still great challenge. We have used joint displacement data calibrate semi-coupled...
Wildfires are an increasing global concern due to their profound impact on the environment and human life. These events affect a wide range of environments, from arid regions forests other highly flammable areas, such as Bohemian Switzerland National Park in Czech Republic. In 2022, large-scale wildfire this region—characterized by its sandstone rock formations near Czech-German border—highlighted importance understanding effects extreme temperatures properties. While...
Understanding thermal variation in rock masses is fundamental determining deformation, which can lead to more significant movements such as rockfalls. Directly acquiring this information the field still complex and problematic, particularly inaccessible areas. Therefore, correlations are an effective tool compensate for limitation. Furthermore, recently, InfraRed Thermography (IRT) has proved capable of capturing intrinsic properties rocks.Consequently, we implement a method evaluate...
The mechanical strength is a fundamental characteristic of rock masses that can be empirically related to number properties and the likelihood instability phenomena. Direct field acquisition information on tall cliffs, however, challenging, particularly in coastal alpine environments. Here, we propose method evaluate compressive blocks by monitoring their thermal behaviour over 24-h period infrared thermography. Using drone-mounted camera Schmidt (rebound) hammer, surveyed granitoid...
This paper presents a snow avalanche hazard map of the most avalanche-prone mountain range in Czech Republic, Krkonoše Mountains. The was prepared using historical records 1132 avalanches which occurred over last 54 years and state-of-the-art modelling propagation spatial distribution potential source areas. provides not only reliable easy to understand information for Mountain Rescue Service Republic tourists, but also land use managers identify areas where new paths may develop under...
Abstract Evaluating physical properties and mechanical parameters of rock slopes their spatial variability is challenging, particularly at locations inaccessible for fieldwork. This obstacle can be bypassed by acquiring spatially-distributed field data indirectly. InfraRed Thermography ( IRT ) has emerged as a promising technology to statistically infer inform slope stability models. Here, we explore the use Cooling Rate Indices (CRIs) quantify thermal response granodiorite wall within...
