Geospatial modeling of snow avalanches on the Šar Mountains, Balkan Peninsula [PDF]
Glasnik Srpskog Geografskog DruštvaSnow avalanches are among the most significant natural hazards worldwide in high mountain areas. Mapping the spatial distribution of avalanches is one of the initial steps in avalanche management. In this study, geospatial modeling was performed

A method for imaging water transport in soil–snow systems with neutron radiography
Annals of GlaciologyLiquid water at the ground–snow interface is thought to play a crucial role in the release of glide-snow avalanches, which can be massive and threaten infrastructure in alpine regions.

Influence of slab depth spatial variability on skier-triggering probability and avalanche size
Annals of GlaciologySpatial variability of snowpack properties adds uncertainty in the evaluation of avalanche hazard. We propose a combined mechanical–statistical approach to study how spatial variation of slab depth affects the skier-triggering probability and possible ...

Particle trajectories, velocities, accelerations and rotation rates in snow avalanches
Annals of GlaciologyUnderstanding the dynamics of snow avalanches is crucial for predicting their destructive potential and mobility. To gain insight into avalanche dynamics at a particle level, the AvaNode in-flow sensor system was developed.

Noise induced rupture process: Phase boundary and scaling of waiting time distribution
, 2013 A bundle of fibers has been considered here as a model for composite materials, where breaking of the fibers occur due to a combined influence of applied load (stress) and external noise.

Effect of sonic boom on avalanches. Preparation for flight of a supersonic jet over the Lavay Valley [PDF]
An experiment to determine the effect of sonic booms on the stability of the snow mantle in the Lavey Valley is proposed. It includes provisions for the aircraft trajectory, line of fucus, boom zone, as well as the determination of boom intensity levels ...
