Journal of Glaciology, 2016 Measurements of the mechanical properties of snow are essential for improving our understanding and the prediction of snow failure and hence avalanche release. We performed fracture mechanical experiments in which a crack was initiated by a saw in a weak

Surface movement and cascade processes on debris cones in temperate high mountain (Picos de Europa, northern Spain) [PDF]
, 2019 Producción CientíficaDebris talus is a very common landform in the temperate high mountain, so much so that it is the most representative of the periglacial and nival processes.

Earth and Space Science, Volume 13, Issue 4, April 2026.Abstract In August 1969, intense rainfall from the remnants of Hurricane Camille triggered >150 debris flows in Fortune's Cove, a first‐order drainage basin in central Virginia. These debris flows reshaped the landscape by stripping colluvium and vegetation from hollows.

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.

Efficient numerical schemes for viscoplastic avalanches. Part 2: the 2D case [PDF]
, 2018 This paper deals with the numerical resolution of a shallow water viscoplastic flow model. Viscoplastic materials are characterized by the existence of a yield stress: below a certain critical threshold in the imposed stress, there is no deformation and ...

Structures of snow cloud in dry-snow avalanches [PDF]
Annals of Glaciology, 1993 During two winter seasons, we observed avalanche winds and the air movement in the snow dust region. The wind velocity near the avalanche front was comparable to the averaged internal velocity of the front region. The avalanche wind blew down the valley. However, there was a rising air current just before the avalanche front.

Understanding the human dimensions of wildfire risk at a community level in British Columbia, Canada
Canadian Geographies / Géographies canadiennes, Volume 70, Issue 2, Summer / été 2026.Abstract Recent spikes in the number of large and catastrophic wildfires in Canada pose significant risks to the environment and society. Rural and remote communities are especially at risk due to their location in wildfire‐prone areas, remoteness, and limited access or escape routes.

Solving Richards Equation for snow improves snowpack meltwater runoff estimations in detailed multi-layer snowpack model [PDF]
The Cryosphere, 2014 The runoff from a snow cover during spring snowmelt or rain-on-snow events is an important factor in the hydrological cycle. In this study, three water balance schemes for the 1 dimensional physically-based snowpack model SNOWPACK are compared to ...

Rainfall and Rain‐on‐Snow Events Over Greenland in Summer: Climatology, Trends, Synoptics
Journal of Geophysical Research: Atmospheres, Volume 131, Issue 5, 16 March 2026.Abstract Rain‐on‐snow (ROS) events in the Arctic can lead to major impacts on the snow cover, cryosphere and environment. During the last decades, these events have significantly increased, mostly due to climate change. Here, we use outputs from the regional climate model MAR (version 3.14) driven by the ERA5 reanalysis at 10‐km resolution over ...
