Relating regional acceleration events to hydroclimatic inputs for slow-moving deep-seated landslides in Western Canada Open
Deep-seated landslides in colluvium derived from glacial sediments and shales blanket river valley slopes in the Western Canada Sedimentary Basin (WCSB) and are traversed by linear infrastructure and urban development. Porter et al (2019) …
Three-dimensional rockfall shape back analysis: methods and implications Open
Rockfall is a complex natural process that can present risks to the effective operation of infrastructure in mountainous terrain. Remote sensing tools and techniques are rapidly becoming the state of the practice in the characterization, m…
Simulation of fragmental rockfalls detected using terrestrial laser scans from rock slopes in south-central British Columbia, Canada Open
Rockfall presents an ongoing challenge to the safe operation of transportation infrastructure, creating hazardous conditions which can result in damage to roads and railways, as well as loss of life. Rockfall risk assessment frameworks oft…

Our GIS is a Game Engine: Bringing Unity to Spatial Simulation of Rockfalls. GeoComputation 2019 Open
We employ a game engine – Unity – to create a rockfall simulation that integrates high resolution slope data from LiDAR scanning and photogrammetry, simulates hundreds of rocks moving on a slope, and provides outputs relevant to geological…
3-Dimensional Rockfall Shape Back-Analysis: Methodsand Implications Open
Rockfall is a complex natural process that can present risks to the effective operation of infrastructure in mountainous terrain. Remote sensing tool and techniques are rapidly becoming the state of practice in the characterization, monito…
Game-Engine Based Rockfall Modelling: Testing and Application of a New Rockfall Simulation Tool Open
Rockfall presents an ongoing challenge to the safe operation of transportation infrastructure across Canada, creating hazardous conditions which can result in damage to roads and railways, as well as loss of life. Conventional rockfall ris…
Combining temporal 3-D remote sensing data with spatial rockfall simulations for improved understanding of hazardous slopes within rail corridors Open
Remote sensing techniques can be used to gain a more detailed understanding of hazardous rock slopes along railway corridors that would otherwise be inaccessible. Multiple datasets can be used to identify changes over time, creating an inv…
