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.

Particulate and water-soluble carbon measured in recent snow at Summit, Greenland [PDF]
, 2007 Water-soluble organic carbon (WSOC), waterinsoluble particulate organic carbon (WIOC), and particulate elemental carbon (EC) were measured simultaneously for the first time on the Greenland Ice Sheet in surface snow and in a 3-meter snow pit.

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 ...

Soluble species in aerosol and snow and their relationship at Glacier 1, Tien Shan, China [PDF]
, 1998 Simultaneous sampling of aerosol (n = 20) and snow (n = 114) was made at Glacier 1, Tien Shan, between May 19 and June 29, 1996. Similar temporal patterns of some major ion (calcium, magnesium, potassium, sodium, chloride, and sulfate) concentrations ...

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 ...
