Snowpack and avalanche characterization over the 2021–2022 winter season in Sisimiut, West Greenland

open access: yesFrontiers in Earth Science, 2023
In Greenland, snow avalanches have been recognized as a significant hazard and a risk to communities for decades. However, prior to this study, no formal avalanche database nor avalanche forecasting service existed in Greenland.

Prediction of natural dry-snow avalanche activity using physics-based snowpack simulations [PDF]

open access: yesNatural Hazards and Earth System Sciences, 2023
Predicting the timing and size of natural snow avalanches is crucial for local and regional decision makers but remains one of the major challenges in avalanche forecasting.

Enhanced ferromagnetic resonance linewidth of the free layer in perpendicular magnetic tunnel junctions

open access: yesAIP Advances, 2017
We report the frequency dependence of the ferromagnetic resonance linewidth of the free layer in magnetic tunnel junctions with all perpendicular–to–the–plane magnetized layers.

Reconstruction of four-dimensional rockfall trajectories using remote sensing and rock-based accelerometers and gyroscopes [PDF]

open access: yesEarth Surface Dynamics, 2019
This work focuses on the in-depth reconstruction of the full set of parameters of interest in single-block rockfall trajectories. A comprehensive understanding of rockfall trajectories holds the promise to enhance the application of numerical models for ...

The RHOSSA campaign: multi-resolution monitoring of the seasonal evolution of the structure and mechanical stability of an alpine snowpack [PDF]

open access: yesThe Cryosphere, 2020
The necessity of characterizing snow through objective, physically motivated parameters has led to new model formulations and new measurement techniques.

Avalanches in cardiology

open access: yesAnnals of Pediatric Cardiology, 2021
Sudden cardiac death (SCD) accounts for 15%–60% of mortality in patients with heart disease. Generally, this has been attributed to ventricular tachyarrhythmia. However, ventricular tachyarrhythmia has been documented or strongly suspected on clinical grounds in a relatively small proportion of SCD patients (8%–50%). Attempted

Micro-mechanical insights into the dynamics of crack propagation in snow fracture experiments

open access: yesScientific Reports, 2021
Dry-snow slab avalanches result from crack propagation in a highly porous weak layer buried within a stratified and metastable snowpack. While our understanding of slab avalanche mechanisms improved with recent experimental and numerical advances ...

Glacio-environmental aspects recorded in two shallow ice cores drilled in 1980 at accumulation area of Khumbu Glacier of Mt. Everest in Nepal Himalayas

open access: yesArctic, Antarctic, and Alpine Research, 2020
The physical and geochemical characteristics of shallow ice cores drilled in the accumulation area (Western Cwm) of Khumbu Glacier in the Nepal Himalayas in 1980 were analyzed.
