Short communication: Runout of rock avalanches limited by basal friction but controlled by fragmentation

<p>Rock avalanches produce exceptionally long run-outs that correlate with their rock volume. This relationship has been attributed to the size-dependent dynamic lowering of the effective basal friction. However, it has also been observed that run-outs of rock avalanches with similar volumes c...
