Rock slope failures are among the most widespread and damaging rapid mass movements affecting mountainous areas, and result in significant loss of life and property each year worldwide. They also represent a potent erosional force capable of rapidly modifying landscapes. Modern hazard analyses demand deeper understanding of the triggering, failure mechanisms, and runout processes of rock slope failures. Further, long-term hazard assessments require information regarding climate effects that may influence these types of landslides. We invite novel contributions on the study of rock falls, rock slides, and rock avalanches that either advance existing methods of analysis or present new understanding of phenomena. Topics may include theoretical and analytical developments, field and laboratory studies, monitoring strategies, geochronology, applications to landscape evolution, analytical and numerical modeling, or new methods in hazard and risk assessment.
