<p>In the eastern Alps, no previous research focused on the impact of wildfires
on the occurrence of rockfalls. The investigation of wildfires and
post-wildfire rockfalls gains new importance with respect to changes in
weather extremes and rapid social developments such as population growth
and tourism. The present work describes a wildfire that occurred in August
2018 in a famous world heritage site in Austria. Indicators of fire severity
and rockfall occurrence during and after the fire are described.</p> |
