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

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
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
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.
