Photogrammetrically UAV based terrain data generation and automatic extraction of torrential properties [PDF]
Debris flows are a severe hazard in mountainous regions. However, cost-effective long-term studies of debris flows are seldom, which leads to substantial uncertainties in hazard mitigation methods.

Designing supply chains to meet the growing need of vaccines: evidence from four countries
Background Immunization supply chains (iSCs) move vaccines from manufacturer to point of use with the added complexities of requiring cold chain and an increasing need for agility and efficiency to ensure vaccine quality and availability. Underperforming

Multi-component avalanches for rock- and ice-falls to potential debris flow transition modelling [PDF]
Rock/ice avalanches are complex gravitational flows involving three important physicalprocesses: entrainment, phase-changes, and flow transitions. The basic complexity of modelling rock/ice avalanches lies in the fact that the flow is a mixture of rock ...

Linking snow depth to avalanche release area size: measurements from the Vallée de la Sionne field site [PDF]
One of the major challenges in avalanche hazard assessment is the correct estimation of avalanche release area size, which is of crucial importance to evaluate the potential danger that avalanches pose to roads, railways or infrastructure.
