Statistical properties of fresh snow roughness
, 2008 We present results from a series of experiments in which fresh snow roughness was measured by means of digital photography and analyzed using the random field approach.

, 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.

Exploring how Sentinel-1 wet-snow maps can inform fully distributed physically based snowpack models [PDF]
The CryosphereDistributed energy and mass balance snowpack models at sub-kilometric scale have emerged as a tool for snow-hydrological forecasting over large areas.

Temporal evolution of crack propagation propensity in snow in relation to slab and weak layer properties [PDF]
The Cryosphere, 2016 If a weak snow layer below a cohesive slab is present in the snow cover, unstable snow conditions can prevail for days or even weeks. We monitored the temporal evolution of a weak layer of faceted crystals as well as the overlaying slab layers at the ...

Animal‐Mediated Dispersal and Clonal Growth Drive Prunus cerasus Invasion in Andean Temperate Forest
Integrative Zoology, EarlyView.Prunus cerasus reproduces by clonality and by seed dispersal and germination. P. cerasus is invading Patagonian protected areas. The relative relevance of germination and clonal reproduction changes along the time of P. cerasus arrival at a site. Seed dispersal by foxes is primarily responsible for the spread of P. cerasus to new areas.

Towards a model of glide-snow avalanche occurrence using in-situ soil and snow measurements
Journal of GlaciologyGlide-snow avalanches release at the soil-snow interface and are currently difficult to predict. This is mostly due to a limited understanding of the release process and a lack of data, particularly of the snowpack and underlying soil conditions prior to

Thermal energy in dry snow avalanches [PDF]
The Cryosphere, 2015 Avalanches can exhibit many different flow regimes from powder clouds to slush flows. Flow regimes are largely controlled by the properties of the snow released and entrained along the path. Recent investigations showed the temperature of the moving snow

Boreas, EarlyView.The AlpIce‐1 database is the first compilation of published geomorphological and geochronological markers constraining build‐up, culmination and decay of glaciers from the Last Glacial Maximum through the Holocene across the entire European Alps. AlpIce‐1 integrates more than 4200 surface‐exposure and radiocarbon ages, homogenized, quality controlled ...
