The study of rockfalls in high mountain is essential to understand landscape evolution and to evaluate a significant natural hazard. While vulnerabilities are increasing in high altitude and in valleys, the present increasing number of rockfall events in the Alps is probably related to the Global Warming through the degradation of rockface permafrost. Nevertheless, due to a lack of systematic observations, the frequency and volume of rockfalls, as well as their triggering factors remain poorly understood. This paper presents and analyzes an inventory of 66 rock detachments (1 to 426 m3) obtained by diachronic comparison of high resolution 3D models acquired by annually repeated terrestrial laserscanning campaigns between 2005 and 2009 on 9...
