I have been recently discussing with a colleague whether or not it is appropriate using the term “predictability” in our investigation of the rockfall phenomena… I think yes, but we’ve to agree on the used terminology, so I have rescued some previous thoughts from my PhD that I’d like to share with you: Spatial prediction: […]
Hi, today I have had a very good surprise, one of our publications has been cited by David Petley in his well known “landslide blog”. You can read his review here: http://blogs.agu.org/landslideblog/2015/04/13/review-progressive-failure-spain/ This is a good recognisement of more than seven years monitoring on the cliff where I developed most of my PhD methods for […]
Hello to everyone, We will be presenting a Short Course at the European Geosciences Union General Assembly. The course is entitled “Use of 3D point clouds in Geosciences: Acquisition, Processing and Applications” DATE AND PLACE: Monday 13th of April, from 17:30 to 19:30 in room B7. If you are a PhD student or an Early […]
Dear Colleagues, I would like to invite you to consider submitting a manuscript to this Special Issue: ——————————————– Special Issue Information Contributions aiming to use 3D point clouds for investigating natural phenomena (including ground deformation, landslides, floods, earthquakes, volcanoes, soil erosion, etc.) that pose serious risks to human beings or infrastructures will be much appreciated […]
Hi, I have good news!: I will perform an invited talk at the AGU conference at San Francisco this year. The title of the conference is “Recent advances in analysis and prediction of Rock Falls, Rock Slides, and Rock Avalanches using 3D point clouds“, within the session of Greg Stock (Yosemite National Park), Brian Collins […]
Support the CloudCompare open source project! CloudCompare is an open source tool for editing and processing dense 3D point clouds (such as those acquired with laser scanners). Since I found it very useful, I would like to support their current campaign for supporting this project. Please, take a look here: https://pledgie.com/campaigns/19052 I’ve already collaborated! 😀
The International Association of Engineering Geology (IAEG) is publishing a series of video lectures that will be freely available in streaming for the scientific ant technical community. They are very interesting… enjoy! Video Lecture #2: Mapping, Monitoring and Modelling of Rockslides (Prof. Giovanni B. Crosta): Video Lecture #1: Rock Mass classification, an engineering geological assessment. […]
