Rockfall is one of the most serious threats to human infrastructures, transportation routes, and villages located near steep slopes. In this study, two rockfall hazard rating systems, namely the Rockfall Hazard Rating System for Indian Rockmass and the Colorado Rockfall Risk Rating System, were used to analyze the areas susceptible to rockfall. These rating systems were correlated based on the dat

Before exploring the reasons behind the changes, addressing them spatially along the coast is most important. Only a few studies focused on the coastal changes at the compartment level. Following this, the study aims to analyse long-term decadal changes using a high-resolution dataset to capture spatio-tempor

In determining its degree of risk, the rapid visual screening (RVS) is an effective method to assess the current condition of a specific building and its structural components. The resulting risk index and damage classification done by this method are the basis on it
