Determining the link between permafrost and displacement rates of large unstable rock-slopes (LURSs) is fundamental for understanding future hazard scenarios establishing appropriate management strategies. From an inventory >500 LURSs in Norway, we investigate controls those with available information on their (299 LURSs), presenting first statistical evidence as main driver LURSs. The probabil...

In 3-D analyses of rock slopes there’re can be numerous sliding paths a long a coplanar nonpersistent discontinuity with a known strike. This paper describes an approach for the determination of a most probable sliding path. For this particular study, several blocks of gypsum with the dimensions of 15×15×15 cm containing coplanar non-persistent open joints were fabricated. The models have vario...

the paper is concerned with the hydrogeological appraisal of the proposed mining operations in thethar lignite field in sindh, pakistan. the thar coalfield covers an area of approximately 9000km2 andcontains three lignite seams lying at depth of 130m to 250 m. in the thar lignite field, the presence ofthree main aquifers induces pore pressure in the rock mass surrounding the lignite seams and m...

In this study, we used RADARSAT interferometrically derived images to monitor current post slide motion at the Frank Slide, a 30x 10m rock avalanche, in the Canadian Rockies. The images cover the period from September 2000 to April 2004. Our results show that the Frank slide is still active and the deformation process is localized and related to seasonal and local weather conditions. This infor...
