Avalanche observations versus numerical avalanche model: Simple test of model performance [PDF]

open access: yes, 2021
Hazard assessment for landuse planning in snow avalanche prone areas requires, besides knowledge of return periods, the specification of expected runout distances.

THE CALCULATION TECHNIQUE FOR TRANSPORT OF SNOW IN POORLY-STUDIED AREAS (SAKHALIN ISLAND)

open access: yesЛëд и снег, 2015
Wind spatial redistribution of snow influences on exploitation of linear constructions; it is one of the principal factors of snow cornice’s forming on slopes. Calculation of snow-drift transport is indispensable when solving of practical problems. There

Background data for: "Risky Positioning - social aspirations and risk-taking behaviour in avalanche terrain"

open access: yes, 2023
This dataset contains information from a survey that was distributed in North America from January to April, in 2018. To target the population of interest for this study, backcountry riders, we distributed a link to the survey via the American avalanche ...

Causal Inference in Observational Studies: Assessing the Impact of Lifestyle Factors on Diabetes Risk

open access: yesJOIV: International Journal on Informatics Visualization
The global prevalence of type 2 diabetes has escalated in recent decades, prompting an urgent need for effective prevention strategies. Physical activity has emerged as a significant modifiable risk factor for mitigating diabetes risk, yet the precise ...

Estimating the effective elastic modulus and specific fracture energy of snowpack layers from field experiments

open access: yesJournal of Glaciology, 2016
Measurements of the mechanical properties of snow are essential for improving our understanding and the prediction of snow failure and hence avalanche release. We performed fracture mechanical experiments in which a crack was initiated by a saw in a weak

Snow in a very steep rock face: accumulation and redistribution during and after a snowfall event

open access: yesFrontiers in Earth Science, 2015
Terrestrial laser scanning was used to measure snow thickness changes (perpendicular to the surface) in a rock face. The aim was to investigate the accumulation and redistribution of snow in extremely steep terrain (>60°).

Optimum Probing for Avalanche Victims

open access: yes, 1967
The technological problems connected with the development of a "wonder searching instrument" are immense. Until science presents us with this instrument we must use classical search devices.
