Rockfall represents one of the most common geomorphological processes in mountain regions and has extensively been studied in the past. Nonetheless, detailed data on frequencies (how often), volumes (how large), spatial distributions (where) or the seasonality (when) of rockfall activity remain scarce and most of the time fragmentary. Similarly, tree-ring analysis has only exceptionally been used...

Deep landslides (> 10 m) are generally characterized by phases of acceleration alternating with periods of lull, but most often lack real stabilization. Due to the continuous movement, it is difcult to evaluate the evolution of the activity. Therefore, a new methodology has been developed in order to precisely identify the sub-recent (20th century) and present evolution of deep landslide...

Slope instabilities such as mudflows, debris flows or landslides have lately raised much concern in Switzerland, since various major events have occurred during the last decade, resulting in major landscape disturbances, as well as costly damage to infrastructure. This demonstrated the necessity to better understand the causes and dynamics of such processes. This research work aims at defining...
