When is a rock slope going to fail? Forecasting the time of an imminent slope failure is still a very challenging task, even with constantly improving monitoring techniques. How can we get reliable prospective forecasts despite the diverse geology and limited number of events?
Our article from the AlpSense project on the forecasting of rock slope failure time is finally published!
