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 ...

The source, quantity, and spatial distribution of interfacial water during glide-snow avalanche release: experimental evidence from field monitoring [PDF]
The CryosphereGlide-snow avalanches release at the soil–snow interface due to a loss friction which is suspected to be linked to interfacial water. Presently, the formation and distribution of the interfacial water are not well understood and glide-snow avalanches are

Snow avalanche formation [PDF]
Reviews of Geophysics, 2003 Snow avalanches are a major natural hazard, endangering human life and infrastructure in mountainous areas throughout the world. In many countries with seasonally snow‐covered mountains, avalanche‐forecasting services reliably warn the public by issuing occurrence probabilities for a certain region.

Field measurements of multiaxial strength of weak snow layers
Journal of GlaciologyDry-snow slab avalanche release is initiated by a failure in a buried weak layer. Quantifying the multiaxial strength of weak snow layers is therefore essential, yet field measurements remain scarce compared to laboratory or numerical studies.

Automated prediction of wet-snow avalanche activity in the Swiss Alps
Journal of Glaciology, 2023 Wet-snow avalanches are triggered by the infiltration of liquid water which weakens the snowpack. Wet-snow avalanches are among the most destructive avalanches, yet their release mechanism is not sufficiently understood for a process-based prediction ...

Heat, Health and Holidays: Reported Heat Related Adjustments to Australian Tourist Behaviour
International Journal of Climatology, EarlyView.This study assessed how climate‐related hazards affect Australian tourists' travel planning. While 80% of tourists report no impact, the 20% who do experience disruption most commonly change their activities, timing, or destination, with heat and rain affecting the same proportion of tourists across beach, city, nature, and family tourism types ...
