Linking snow depth to avalanche release area size: measurements from the Vallée de la Sionne field site [PDF]
Natural Hazards and Earth System Sciences, 2016 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.

Adhesion of Wet Snow to Different Cable Surfaces [PDF]
Cohesion of snow and its adhesion to cable surfaces are the decisive factors for wet-snow shedding from power-line cables. Knowing the adhesive strength of snow is essential to predict when snow will shed and what consequences it will have on the ...

Multi-component avalanches for rock- and ice-falls to potential debris flow transition modelling [PDF]
E3S Web of Conferences, 2023 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 ...

Modeling Wet-Snow Shedding from Current-Carrying Conductors [PDF]
The initiation of wet-snow shedding from currentcarrying conductors was studied experimentally and theoretically. A suspended cable with cylindrical snow accretion was considered, and some of the snow properties at the end of sleeve were measured and ...

Health and sustainability of glaciers in High Mountain Asia
Nature Communications, 2021 Glaciers in High Mountain Asia are a key water resource. The authors use remote sensing data and a regional implementation of the continuity equation to quantify glacier ablation and accumulation rates for 2000–2016, and establish current climatic ...

Interannual climate variability improves niche estimates for ectothermic but not endothermic species
Scientific Reports, 2023 Climate is an important limiting factor of species’ niches and it is therefore regularly included in ecological applications such as species distribution models (SDMs).

The relevance of rock shape over mass—implications for rockfall hazard assessments
Nature Communications, 2021 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 ...

Intercomparison of snow density measurements: bias, precision, and vertical resolution [PDF]
, 2016 Density is a fundamental property of porous media such as snow. A wide range of snow properties and physical processes are linked to density, but few studies have addressed the uncertainty in snow density measurements.
