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 ...

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.

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.

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.

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 ...

A Framework for Quantifying Diverse Multi‐Hazard Interactions to Enhance Climate Resilience

Climate Resilience and Sustainability, Volume 5, Issue 2, December 2026.
A generalized framework for quantifying multi‐hazard interactions is developed and applied across four European regions. The framework captures regional hazard dependencies and joint probabilities, with methods tailored to different temporal scales. Results indicate increasing multi‐hazard event frequency under future climate scenarios, highlighting ...

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).

Shallow Poroelastic Hydrothermal Deformation at Changbaishan Volcano Before the 2020 Unrest Revealed by Sentinel‐1 InSAR Time Series

Geophysical Research Letters, Volume 53, Issue 19, 16 October 2026.
Abstract Ground deformation of dormant volcanoes provides critical insights into subsurface processes and potential hazards. Here we present Sentinel‐1 Interferometric Synthetic Aperture Radar (InSAR) time series (2015–2020) for Changbaishan volcano, the largest intraplate volcanic system in East Asia. We detect persistent subsidence of up to 3.5 mm/yr

Cold‐Air Pooling and Temperature‐Elevation Mapping in a Colorado Watershed

Journal of Geophysical Research: Atmospheres, Volume 131, Issue 19, 16 October 2026.
Abstract Near‐surface air temperature grids are important environmental model forcings. In narrow mountain valleys, most gridded products are too coarse to resolve variability across slopes, so regional studies often map temperature across terrain following locally determined lapse rates.
