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 ...

Spatio-temporal influence of tundra snow properties on Ku-band (17.2 GHz) backscatter [PDF]
During the 2010/11 boreal winter, a distributed set of backscatter measurements was collected using a ground-based Ku-band (17.2 GHz) scatterometer system at 26 open tundra sites.

The relevance of rock shape over mass—implications for rockfall hazard assessments
The awareness of rock shape dependence in rockfall hazard assessment is growing, but experimental and field studies are scarce. This study presents a large data set of induced single block rockfall events quantifying the influence of rock shape and mass ...
