Rock Avalanche-Generated Sediment Mass Flows: Definitions and Hazard

Frontiers in Earth Science, 2020
Rock avalanches can trigger destructive associated hazards following the initial collapse and fragmentation of a rock slope failure. One of these associated hazards occurs when the material derived from the initial collapse of the source zone impacts and

The geomorphological effect of cornice fall avalanches in the Longyeardalen valley, Svalbard [PDF]

The Cryosphere, 2013
The study of snow avalanches and their geomorphological effect in the periglacial parts of the cryosphere is important for enhanced geomorphological process understanding as well as hazard-related studies.

A possible initiation mechanism of Muztag rock avalanche induced by nearby fault creep

Earth Surface Processes and Landforms
Rock avalanches are catastrophic events that can be triggered by various geological and climatic factors. Large‐scale rock avalanches have been observed near fault zones, indicating a potential relationship between fault creep motions and the initiation ...

A massive rock and ice avalanche caused the 2021 disaster at Chamoli, Indian Himalaya

Science, 2021
A deadly cascade A catastrophic landslide in Uttarakhand state in India on February 2021 damaged two hydropower plants, and more than 200 people were killed or are missing. Shugar et al. describe the cascade of events that led to this disaster. A massive

Performance test of avalanche measurements fence using piezoelectric limit sensors

Nihon Kikai Gakkai ronbunshu, 2018
Under certain weather conditions, avalanches can occur because of snow cover on a steep slope. Such avalanches can reach snow fences that are arranged as countermeasures. Furthermore, traffic is completely blocked when fences collapse and snow falls on a

Predisposing, triggering and runout processes at a permafrost‐affected rock avalanche site in the French Alps (Étache, June 2020)

Earth Surface Processes and Landforms
Although numerous recent studies have explored the relationship between permafrost degradation and rock slope failure, there is still a need for in‐depth investigations to develop relevant hazard assessment approaches.
