Microseismic activity analysis for the study of the rupture mechanisms in unstable rock masses

Rockfalls are common instabilities in alpine areas and can cause significant damage. Since high mountains have been affected by an increasing number of these phenomena in the last years, a possible correlation with permafrost degradation induced by climate change has been hypothesized. <br&am...
