Rockfall, Cliff Retreat in Yosemite Valley since Last Glacial Maximum
Video: https://www.usgs.gov/media/videos/rockfall-cliff-retreat-yosemite-valley-last-glacial-maximum
-----
The granitic cliffs of Yosemite Valley produce frequent rockfalls, modifying the landscape but also posing risk to park visitors. Analyses of terrestrial lidar and historical structure-from-motion photogrammetry data provide relatively precise short-term (approximately 40 years) rates of rockfall and cliff retreat. Those same data can also be used to estimate long-term (postglacial) rates through analysis of talus accumulation. Comparison of short- and long-term rates reveals complex spatial and temporal patterns of rockfall and provides a broader context for evaluating modern hazard conditions.
