Advances in Climate Change ResearchGlaciers have retreated and shrunk in High Mountain Asia since the mid-20th century because of global warming, leading to glacier instability and hazardous ice–snow avalanches.

Journal of Quaternary Science, EarlyView.ABSTRACT The Cadí Massif (42°17′09″ N, 1°38′11″ E; 2649 m a.s.l.) in the southeastern Pyrenees preserves clear evidence of Late Pleistocene glaciation, although previous research has focused almost exclusively on its northern slope. By contrast, the southern slope has remained largely unexplored.

Calibration and application of the MN2D dynamics model to the avalanches of Las Leñas (Argentina) [PDF]
Natural Hazards and Earth System Sciences, 2002 During the winters of 1999 and 2000 large avalanches occurred in the ski resort of Las Leñas (Los Andes, Mendoza, Argentina). On 8 September 1999 an avalanche of new, dry snow ran over a path with a 1000 m vertical drop. On 30 June and on 1 July 2000

Crack propagation speeds in weak snowpack layers
Journal of Glaciology, 2022 For the release of a slab avalanche, crack propagation within a weak snowpack layer below a cohesive snow slab is required. As crack speed measurements can give insight into underlying processes, we analysed three crack propagation events that occurred ...

A talus rock glacier in Nantlle Valley, North Wales
Journal of Quaternary Science, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Landforms comprising mixtures of fine and coarse sediment and deposited during late glacial times are ubiquitous in the British mountains. In many cases, their interpretation has often proved contentious; as a result, the non‐generic term discrete debris accumulations (DDA) has been used to describe them and, over the last 50 years, some have ...

Anthropogenic effect on avalanche and debris flow activity
Лëд и снег, 2015 The paper presents examples of the change in snow avalanches and debris flows activity due to the anthropogenic pressure on vegetation and relief.

Journal of Quaternary Science, EarlyView.ABSTRACT An understanding of the terrestrial extent, retreat dynamics and climate–glacier coupling of ice masses during the Last Glacial Termination (LGT, ~18–11 ka) is often limited by a fragmentary geomorphological record and is dependent on precise, accurate and robust dating frameworks.

The Journal of Wildlife Management, EarlyView.We estimated the distribution of the federally threatened wolverine (Gulo gulo) across the western United States in 2022, evaluated changes in distribution since 2017 (the last survey), and made inference on drivers of wolverine occurrence. This monitoring program and subsequent results are used by states to make management and conservation decisions ...

, 2001 Abstract Avalanches have long been a natural threat to humans in mountainous areas. At the end of the Middle Ages, the population in Europe experienced significant growth, leading to an intensive exploitation of upper valleys. At almost the same time, Europe’s climate cooled down considerably and severe winters became more common.

Synoptic and large‐scale drivers of extreme precipitation events in the Himalayas
Quarterly Journal of the Royal Meteorological Society, EarlyView.Months associated with maximum frequency of extreme precipitation events (EPEs). 6102 extreme precipitation days (i.e., exceeding 99th percentile for daily precipitation) occurred across the Karakoram, Western Himalayas (WH), Central Himalayas (CH) and Eastern Himalayas (EH) during 1979 to 2023.
