The Snowy Torrents : Avalanche Accidents in the United States, 1910-1966
, 1967 Each winter many snow avalanches fall in the mountains. Some bring destruction to property and terror to those unfortunate enough to be caught in the sliding snow.

Snow avalanche forecasting in Iceland and Norway [PDF]
, 1996 This document describes local avalanche warning and forecasting operations in Iceland and Norway, with the focus on forecasting as a preventive measure for communities with threatened habitations. The objective of an avalanche forecasting program in this

River temperature response to atmospheric heatwaves is modulated by discharge and meltwater
Communications Earth & EnvironmentAlpine rivers are becoming increasingly exposed to atmospheric heatwaves. Because of their strong relationship with air temperature, rivers can experience persistent heat anomalies, known as riverine heatwaves, which can have serious consequences for ...

[Avalanche accidents and treatment of avalanche victims].
Tidsskrift for den Norske laegeforening : tidsskrift for praktisk medicin, ny raekke, 2016 Avalanches may be provoked spontaneously or as a result of human activity, and they trigger the need for considerable rescue resources. Avalanche search and rescue operations are complex and characterised by physical and mental stress. The guidelines for resuscitation of avalanche victims may be perceived as complex and abstruse, which can lead to ...

Towards a model of glide-snow avalanche occurrence using in-situ soil and snow measurements
Journal of GlaciologyGlide-snow avalanches release at the soil-snow interface and are currently difficult to predict. This is mostly due to a limited understanding of the release process and a lack of data, particularly of the snowpack and underlying soil conditions prior to

Avalanches in magnetohydrodynamical simulations
Physical Review EScale invariance is a hallmark of many natural systems, including solar flares, where energy release spans a vast range of scales. Recent computational advances, at the level of both algorithmics and hardware, have enabled high-resolution magnetohydrodynamical (MHD) simulations to span multiple scales, offering new insights into magnetic energy ...

Fuzzy modelling of powder snow avalanches [PDF]
, 2004 This paper examines powder snow avalanches by introducing a predetermined degree of variation, or fuzziness, in model parameters. Given a value of vagueness in the parameters, fuzzy set theory makes it possible to evaluate the vagueness in the results ...

Sixteen-year follow-up of childhood avalanche survivors
European Journal of Psychotraumatology, 2016 Background: Every year a substantial number of children are affected by natural disasters worldwide. However, data are scarce on long-term psychological impact of natural disasters on children's health.
