Hourly-scale data underpins the research article "Multi-method monitoring of rockfall activity along the classic route up Mont Blanc (4809ma.s.l.) to encourage adaptation by mountaineers." The dataset was compiled by author Jacques Mourey of the Centre National de la Recherche Scientifique and is published under an Open Access (green) license.
Use Cases
- Model rockfall frequency and triggers based on hourly temporal resolution.
- Assess seasonal or diurnal patterns in mountain hazard activity.
- Correlate rockfall events with environmental conditions like temperature or precipitation.
- Support risk communication and adaptation strategies for mountaineers.
Strengths
- Data is explicitly linked to a peer-reviewed scientific publication, providing methodological context.
- The hourly time scale offers granularity for analyzing temporal patterns.
Limitations
- Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download.
- Row count is unknown, which may limit suitability assessment.
- Last update date is unknown; freshness unverified.
Provenance
- Source
- Centre National de la Recherche Scientifique
- Collection Method
- Multi-method monitoring as described in the associated research article.
- Geography
- Classic mountaineering route on Mont Blanc (4809 meters above sea level).
