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 ...

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 ...

Co-detection of acoustic emissions during failure of heterogeneous media: new perspectives for natural hazard early warning [PDF]
, 2015 A promising method for real time early warning of gravity driven rupture that considers both the heterogeneity of natural media and characteristics of acoustic emissions attenuation is proposed.

A new experimental snow avalanche test site at Seehore peak in Aosta Valley (NW Italian Alps) - Part II: Engineering aspects [PDF]
, 2013 The estimate of the effects produced by the impact of a snow avalanche against an obstacle is of the utmost importance in designing safe mountain constructions.

A Two-Threshold Model for Scaling Laws of Non-Interacting Snow Avalanches
, 2004 The sizes of snow slab failure that trigger snow avalanches are power-law distributed. Such a power-law probability distribution function has also been proposed to characterize different landslide types.

Stochastic equation of fragmentation and branching processes related to avalanches [PDF]
, 2015 We give a stochastic model for the fragmentation phase of a snow avalanche. We construct a fragmentation-branching process related to the avalanches, on the set of all fragmentation sizes introduced by J. Bertoin.

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
