Induced Rockfall Dataset (Small Rock Experimental Campaign), Tschamut, Grisons, Switzerland

Dataset of an experimental campaign of induced rockfall in Tschamut, Grisons, Switzerland.

The data archive contains site specific geographical data such as DEM and orthophoto as well as the deposition points of manually induced rockfall by releasing differently shaped boulders with 30–80 kg of mass. Additionally available are all the StoneNode data streams for rocks equipped with a sensor. The data set consists of

• Deposition points from two series (wet (27/10/2016) and frozen (08/12/2016) ground)
• Digital Elevation Model (grid resolution 2 m) obtained via UAV
• Orthophoto (5 cm resolution) obtained via UAV
• Digitized rock point clouds (.pts input files for RAMMS::ROCKFALL)
• StoneNode v1.0 raw data stream for equipped rocks.
