Stability Assessment, Potential Collapses and Future Evolution of the West Face of the Drus (3,754 m a.s.l., Mont Blanc Massif)

A structural analysis was performed in the field and using Terrestrial Laser Scanning point clouds. The failure mechanisms and volumes of the collapses in the last decades have been studied and calculated to be able to assess the future evolution of the stability of the west face of the Drus.
