Taxonomic and functional patterns of arthropod succession after glacier retreat in the Dolomite Alps

Insect Conservation and Diversity, EarlyView.
Arthropod succession after glacier retreat varied among species and forelands in the Dolomites Alps, with community composition shaped by glacier identity, time since deglaciation and local environmental conditions. Functional composition shifted from small, highly dispersive pioneer species to larger, less dispersive taxa, reflecting increasing ...

An Information States Blackboard as an Intelligent Querying Interface for Snow and Avalanche Data [PDF]

, 1999
We present the graph-based querying paradigm used in the Regional Avalanche Information and Forecasting System (RAIFoS) for the collection and analysis of snow and weather related physical parameters in the Swiss Alps.

Snow fracture in relation to slab avalanche release: critical state for the onset of crack propagation [PDF]

The Cryosphere, 2017
The failure of a weak snow layer buried below cohesive slab layers is a necessary, but insufficient, condition for the release of a dry-snow slab avalanche.

Trauma and affect in a Holocaust survivor's story: Rosita Fanto's novel Rozalia Alone

Orbis Litterarum, EarlyView.
Abstract My article endeavors to redress the neglect of Rosita Fanto's Rozalia Alone (2010), which deals with a page of history that is less known worldwide, the Holocaust in Romania. Using a trauma studies perspective that mixes with affect theory, the article demonstrates that Rozalia Alone covers in a nutshell the whole magnitude of the late 1930s ...

On the Flow of Avalanching Snow [PDF]

Journal of Glaciology, 1977
Abstract Variation of flow depth of a flowing avalanche caused by a change in the slope angle is examined using Bernoulli’s energy equation, used in hydraulics to determine a non-uniform steady flow. This equation is modified for a material with internal friction and a strongly curved track.

The Intermittency Regions of Powder Snow Avalanches [PDF]

Journal of Geophysical Research: Earth Surface, 2018
Powder snow avalanches are typically composed of several regions characterized by different flow regimes. These include a turbulent suspension cloud of fine particles, a dense basal flow, and an intermittency frontal region, which is characterized by large fluctuations in impact pressure, air pressure, velocity, and density, but whose origin remains ...

Landscape conservation forecasting to evaluate ecological condition and wildlife habitat suitability in eastern Nevada U.S.A.

Restoration Ecology, EarlyView.
Abstract Introduction Cooperation among managers of protected areas and federal multiple use lands with private inholdings to increase restoration success and economies of scale creates ecological and regulatory complexity best studied with state‐and‐transition simulation models (STSM).

Improving Fully Distributed Snowpack Simulations by Mapping Perturbations of Meteorological Forcings Inferred From Particle Filter Assimilation of Snow Monitoring Data

Water Resources Research
Snow plays a crucial role in the water balance of mountainous regions by affecting the timing and magnitude of runoff and, thus, water availability and flood hazards.

Calculation of Snow Avalanche Runout Distance [PDF]

Annals of Glaciology, 1983
Distance of maximum avalanche runout is calculated by four topographical factors. An empirical equation found by regression analysis of 206 avalanches is used to predict the maximum runout distance in terms of average gradient of the avalanche path (angle α).

First Empirical Assessment of Ice Content From a Himalayan Rock Glacier

Geophysical Research Letters, Volume 53, Issue 17, 16 September 2026.
Abstract Climate warming and degradation of glaciers and permafrost in High Mountain Asia is threatening the sustainability of the region's natural “water towers” and allied ecosystems and infrastructure. Approximately 25,000 Himalayan rock glaciers exist and, being more resilient to climatic change than glaciers, they represent important freshwater ...
