RockforNET
Last update: 02 DEC 2019
RockforNET firstly estimates the degree of protection of a forest regarding rockfall given the defined conditions. Secondly, it provides the target profile (minimum and ideal) of the forest given those conditions. The degree of protection is the percentage of rocks that is stopped by the forest. To start the analysis, the fields below should be filled in. As decimal-sign a full stop (.) has to be used.
The underlying principles and methods are explained here. Please contact us for questions and suggestions.
RockforNET uses a statistical approach and provides indicative estimates. It should be used as an expert support tool. It is developed by Frédéric Berger (INRAE, FR) and Luuk Dorren (HAFL-BFH, CH / Federal office for the environment FOEN, CH) with support from Monika Frehner (ETH, CH), Markus Huber (WSL) and Kaspar Zürcher (HAFL-BFH, CH). RockforNET is integrated in the tool TORRID which has been developed within the Interreg Alpine Space Project 462 : ROCKtheALPS. We assume no liability, whatsoever, for any actions taken based on the provided information.
