Summary

This data release includes information used to support the manuscript "Rockfall kinematics from massive rock cliffs: outlier boulders and flyrock from Whitney Portal, California rockfalls". The included datasets and supplement include data that was collected and processed to investigate the kinematics of boulder trajectories and impacts to both other boulders and to existing trees on the talus slope beneath the source area cliffs. This data release includes four folders and one .csv file: 1) GIS Data – shapefile (.shp) of runout zone boundary, 2) RockyFor3d Model Data - .asc and .csv files necessary as input for RockyFor3d model, 3) Terrestrial Lidar- .txt file containing the XYZRGB point cloud collected post rockfall on July 6, 2020, [...]

Purpose

These data were collected to investigate the kinematics, including outlier boulder and flyrock trajectories, of seismically-triggered rockfalls on 24 June 2020 that damaged campground facilities near Whitney Portal, California, USA – a heavily utilized outdoor recreation gateway to the Sierra Nevada mountains.
