A methodology for physically based rockfall hazard assessment
Rockfall hazard assessment is not simple to achieve in practice and sound, physically based assessment methodologies are still missing. The mobility of rockfalls implies a more difficult hazard definition with respect to other slope instabilities with minimal runout. Rockfall hazard assessment involves complex definitions for “occurrence probability” and “intensity”. This paper is an attempt to...
متن کاملSoil Moisture Content
The assessment of soil moisture content and surface roughness from remotely sensed data is of primary importance for improving agricultural techniques of conservation farming such as yield forecasts, scheduling irrigations, fertilization. SAR (Synthetic Aperture Radar) remotely sensed data may provide a powerful tool for indirectly retrieving these agricultural surface parameters over large are...
متن کاملGIS-Based Rockfall Hazard Assessment in Support of Decision Making
When designing infrastructure, settlements or facilities in mountainous areas, rockfall hazard assessment is considered essential, as it is a major hazard worldwide. Rockfall hazard estimation can help greatly in the design of countermeasures, such as barriers and net fences, in order to protect the built environment, as well as for landuse planning. Rockfall modelling is considered an effectiv...

متن کاملInvestigating the Effect of Soil Organic Matter on Gypsum Block Calibration for Measuring Soil Volumetric Moisture Content
Continuous soil moisture assessment and evaluation is essential for irrigation management and planning. One of the common methods for measuring the moisture content of the soil is the use of a gypsum block. The use of gypsum blocks in some cases, including the presence of organic matter in soil, may cause an error in the measurement of moisture. For this purpose, a laboratory study was conducte...
