Spatio-temporal modelling for avalanche risk assessment in the North of Italy [PDF]
, 2011 The main objective of this work is to evaluate the avalanche activity in a given location and at a given time taking into account a number of variables including the stratigraphy of snow cover, temperature, direction and wind speed, altititude, etc.

, 2004 Snow avalanches represent a threat to societies in many countries of the world. In America, Asia, Australia, and Europe, several mountainous countries are affected by this type of natural hazard. People, housing areas, communication lines, ski areas, animals, and woodland are subjected to the threat of snow avalanches.

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 3, March 2026.Climate change increases geomorphological disturbances, which in turn affect vegetation establishment in high‐elevation areas; understanding species' responses to such disturbances is essential. We analysed vegetation across disturbed and undisturbed alpine sites to identify environmental drivers and assess species trait plasticity.

Glide-snow avalanches: a mechanical, threshold-based release area model [PDF]
Natural Hazards and Earth System SciencesGlide-snow avalanches release at the ground–snow interface due to a loss in basal friction. They pose a threat to infrastructure because of the combination of unreliable mitigation measures, limited forecasting capabilities, and a lack of understanding ...

Melt regimes, internal stratigraphy, and flow dynamics of three glaciers in the Alaska Range [PDF]
, 2012 We used ground-penetrating radar (GPR), GPS and glaciochemistry to evaluate melt regimes and ice depths, important variables for mass-balance and ice-volume studies, of Upper Yentna Glacier, Upper Kahiltna Glacier and the Mount Hunter ice divide, Alaska.

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 3, March 2026.This systematic review of 107 studies on the factors behind the elevational range limits of alpine vascular plants shows a persistent emphasis on upper limits and abiotic factors, especially temperature, while work at lower limits is more evenly distributed across water availability, plant–plant interactions, and selection/local adaptation.

Annals of Glaciology, 2016 Radio-echo sounding techniques are very useful for fast profiling of seasonal snowpack. Ground-penetrating radar (GPR) is used widely for various cryospheric applications, such as snow/glacier depth estimation, snow layer identification and snow water ...

NASA's Potential Contributions to Avalanche Forecasting Using Active and Passive Microwave Measurements [PDF]
This Candidate Solution is based on using active and passive microwave measurements acquired from NASA satellites to improve USDA (U.S. Department of Agriculture) Forest Service forecasting of avalanche danger.

Tributary Glacier Surges: An Exceptional Concentration at Panmah Glacier, Karakoram Himalaya [PDF]
, 2007 Four tributaries of Panmah Glacier have surged in less than a decade, three in quick succession between 2001 and 2005. Since 1985, 13 surges have been recorded in the Karakoram Himalaya, more than in any comparable period since the 1850s.

Earth Surface Processes and Landforms, Volume 51, Issue 3, March 2026.The 2020 Pettimudi debris flow in the Western Ghats of India killed 70 people. Our study using stereo‐DEM, UAV‐based LiDAR data, and field data estimated the sediment loss as 17 × 104 m3. Abstract Computation of sediment volume and accurate modeling of run‐out using high‐resolution digital elevation models (DEMs) are essential for assessing debris flow
