Rockfall Susceptibility Mapping

Rockfall Susceptibility Mapping is a method used to identify areas at risk of rocks falling from slopes or cliffs. By analyzing factors like slope steepness, rock type, land use, and historical rockfall data, experts create maps that highlight zones more likely to experience rockfalls. These maps help communities, engineers, and planners make informed decisions to prevent damage and improve safety. Essentially, it’s a visual tool that shows where rockfalls are most likely to occur, allowing for better risk management and mitigation strategies.
