Surface oscillations in channeled snow flows
, 2007 An experimental device has been built to measure velocity profiles and friction laws in channeled snow flows. The measurements show that the velocity depends linearly on the vertical position in the flow and that the friction coefficient is a first-order

A framework for in‐stream jams formed by snow avalanche‐delivered large wood
Earth Surface Processes and Landforms, Volume 51, Issue 3, March 2026.Large wood delivered by avalanches organizes into blanket or transport jam complexes.Jam complexes increase channel width and promote pool and bar formation. Avalanche frequency and magnitude, which are dependent on hillslope angle and roughness characteristics, controls jam complex type.

The source, quantity, and spatial distribution of interfacial water during glide-snow avalanche release: experimental evidence from field monitoring [PDF]
The CryosphereGlide-snow avalanches release at the soil–snow interface due to a loss friction which is suspected to be linked to interfacial water. Presently, the formation and distribution of the interfacial water are not well understood and glide-snow avalanches are
