Overview

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

  • Statistics
  • Mathematical analysis
  • Geometry

Giovanni B. Crosta focuses on Landslide, Geotechnical engineering, Rockfall, Slope stability and Hazard analysis. Geomorphology and Seismology are all intrinsically tied to his study in Landslide. His studies in Geotechnical engineering integrate themes in fields like Creep, Flow, Surface displacement and Nonlinear system.

His Rockfall research incorporates themes from Cost–benefit analysis, Countermeasure, Event, Risk assessment and Geographic information system. He has included themes like Cartography, Probabilistic logic, Linear discriminant analysis, Regression analysis and Monte Carlo method in his Slope stability study. His Hazard analysis research integrates issues from Data mining, Hazard and Sensitivity.

His most cited work include:

  • Structural constraints on deep-seated slope deformation kinematics (339 citations)
  • Regionalization of rainfall thresholds: an aid to landslide hazard evaluation (245 citations)
  • Distributed modelling of shallow landslides triggered by intense rainfall (235 citations)

What are the main themes of his work throughout his whole career to date?

The scientist’s investigation covers issues in Landslide, Geomorphology, Geotechnical engineering, Rockfall and Seismology. His Landslide study incorporates themes from Slope stability, Debris, Debris flow and Geodesy. Giovanni B. Crosta combines subjects such as Mars Exploration Program, Tectonics and Rock mass classification with his study of Geomorphology.

His Geotechnical engineering research incorporates elements of Instability, Flow and Finite element method. The study incorporates disciplines such as Hazard, Hazard analysis, Forensic engineering and Mining engineering in addition to Rockfall.

He most often published in these fields:

  • Landslide (33.17%)
  • Geomorphology (22.84%)
  • Geotechnical engineering (20.91%)

What were the highlights of his more recent work (between 2017-2021)?

  • Landslide (33.17%)
  • Rockfall (16.35%)
  • Seismology (11.78%)

In recent papers he was focusing on the following fields of study:

Giovanni B. Crosta spends much of his time researching Landslide, Rockfall, Seismology, Geotechnical engineering and Rockslide. His biological study focuses on Mass wasting. His Rockfall research is multidisciplinary, incorporating elements of Unesco world heritage, Mining engineering, Archaeology, Protection forest and Risk assessment.

Giovanni B. Crosta mostly deals with Tectonics in his studies of Seismology. His study on Rockslide is covered under Geomorphology. In his study, which falls under the umbrella issue of Interferometric synthetic aperture radar, Rock slope is strongly linked to Geodesy.

Between 2017 and 2021, his most popular works were:

  • Activity and kinematic behaviour of deep-seated landslides from PS-InSAR displacement rate measurements (32 citations)
  • Seismic and geological controls on earthquake-induced landslide size (27 citations)
  • Dynamic Fragmentation of Jointed Rock Blocks During Rockslide-Avalanches: Insights From Discrete Element Analyses (23 citations)

In his most recent research, the most cited papers focused on:

  • Statistics
  • Mathematical analysis
  • Geometry

Giovanni B. Crosta mainly investigates Landslide, Kinematics, Geodesy, Rockfall and Environmental planning. His Landslide research focuses on subjects like Martian, which are linked to Earth science and Glacial period. His work is dedicated to discovering how Rockfall, Mining engineering are connected with Fragmentation, Lubrication and Shear layer and other disciplines.

His studies deal with areas such as Ranking, Cultural heritage, Analytic hierarchy process and Hazard analysis as well as Environmental planning. Mars Exploration Program and Geomorphology are commonly linked in his work. His work in Geomorphology addresses subjects such as Creep, which are connected to disciplines such as Geotechnical engineering and Rockslide.
