Spatial modeling of extreme snow depth

, 2011
The spatial modeling of extreme snow is important for adequate risk management in Alpine and high altitude countries. A natural approach to such modeling is through the theory of max-stable processes, an infinite-dimensional extension of multivariate ...

Comparison of simulated powder snow avalanches with photogrammetric measurements

Annals of Glaciology, 2016
Photogrammetric measurements of powder-cloud surfaces from large avalanches enable the observation of cloud evolution and dispersion as well as quantification of cloud velocities and powder volumes. Since 2002, a total of six large powder avalanches have

The application of space technology to practical problems such as those currently facing the mountain sections of the State of Colorado [PDF]

Rapid growth in small Colorado mountain communities and dangers posed by development in areas that are potentially dangerous to life and property due to natural processes are studied.

On the evolution of snow roughness during snow fall

, 2007
The deposition and attachment mechanism of settling snow crystals during snowfall dictates the very initial structure of ice within a natural snowpack.

The energy release rate of mode II fractures in layered snow samples [PDF]

, 2018
Before a dry snow slab avalanche is released, a shear failure along a weak layer or an interface has to take place. This shear failure disconnects the overlaying slab from the weak layer.

Wet Granular Materials

, 2006
Most studies on granular physics have focused on dry granular media, with no liquids between the grains. However, in geology and many real world applications (e.g., food processing, pharmaceuticals, ceramics, civil engineering, constructions, and many ...

Deep snow slab avalanches

, 2012
Deep slab avalanches are a unique and difficult-to-forecast natural hazard. This thesis analyzed a variety of data sources from southwestern Canada including two large databases and data collected at 27 recent deep slab avalanches. A statistical method based on non-exceedance probability of average slab thickness and weak layer age was developed to ...
