Global warming impacts on rockfall frequency and magnitude due to changing frost distribution and frost cracking effectiveness

The distribution of freezing and thawing within rock masses is time varying (day to day or season to season) and controls the effectiveness of the frost cracking processes from the surface until various depths. These processes are major contributors to the development of rock instabilities. By alter...
