Soil erosion in an avalanche release site (Valle d'Aosta: Italy): towards a winter factor for RUSLE in the Alps [PDF]
, 2014 Soil erosion in Alpine areas is mainly related to extreme topographic and weather conditions. Although different methods of assessing soil erosion exist, the knowledge of erosive forces of the snow cover needs more investigation in order to allow soil ...

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 ...

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 ...

Methods of snow avalanche nourishment assessment (on the example of three Tian Shan glaciers)
Лëд и снег, 2019 The contribution of snow avalanches to the seasonal snow accumulation on a glacier is among the least studied components of the glacier’s mass balance. The methods for the numerical assessment of avalanche accumulation are still under development, which ...
