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

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.

Prediction of avalanches on the basis of the 27‐day Solar activity variations
Лëд и снег, 2015 Many natural processes on the Earth are the cyclic ones and they are self-sustaining within a system of the Sun–Earth relations. To verify our hypothesis on a cyclic occurrence of the avalanche processes and to estimate a possibility to predict ...

Infrasound array criteria for automatic detection and front velocity estimation of snow avalanches: towards a real-time early-warning system [PDF]
Natural Hazards and Earth System Sciences, 2015 Avalanche risk management is strongly related to the ability to identify and timely report the occurrence of snow avalanches. Infrasound has been applied to avalanche research and monitoring for the last 20 years but it never turned into an operational ...

Automated detection of snow avalanche deposits: segmentation and classification of optical remote sensing imagery [PDF]
Natural Hazards and Earth System Sciences, 2012 Snow avalanches in mountainous areas pose a significant threat to infrastructure (roads, railways, energy transmission corridors), personal property (homes) and recreational areas as well as for lives of people living and moving in alpine terrain.

Perspectives on Snow Avalanche Dynamics Research [PDF]
Geosciences, 2021 As an introduction for non-specialists to the Special Issue on snow avalanche dynamics, this paper first outlines how understanding the dynamics of snow avalanches can contribute to reducing risk for settlements and infrastructure. The main knowledge gaps in this field of research concern (i) the properties of the flow regimes and the transitions ...
