Application of an Inertia Dependent Flow Friction Model to Snow Avalanches: Exploration of the Model Using a Ping-Pong Ball Experiment

Geosciences, 2020
Snow avalanches are catastrophic phenomena because of their destructive power. Therefore, it is very important to forecast the affected area of snow avalanches using numerical simulations.

AlpIce‐1: a database of geochronological and geomorphological constraints on Alps‐wide palaeoglacier fluctuations between the Last Glacial Maximum and the Holocene

Boreas, EarlyView.
The AlpIce‐1 database is the first compilation of published geomorphological and geochronological markers constraining build‐up, culmination and decay of glaciers from the Last Glacial Maximum through the Holocene across the entire European Alps. AlpIce‐1 integrates more than 4200 surface‐exposure and radiocarbon ages, homogenized, quality controlled ...

Using video detection of snow surface movements to estimate weak layer crack propagation speeds

Annals of Glaciology
Dry-snow slab avalanches release due to crack propagation in a weak snow layer under a cohesive snow slab. Crack propagation speeds can provide insights into the potential size of avalanches and inform fracture and avalanche release models. Despite their

Taxonomic and functional patterns of arthropod succession after glacier retreat in the Dolomite Alps

Insect Conservation and Diversity, EarlyView.
Arthropod succession after glacier retreat varied among species and forelands in the Dolomites Alps, with community composition shaped by glacier identity, time since deglaciation and local environmental conditions. Functional composition shifted from small, highly dispersive pioneer species to larger, less dispersive taxa, reflecting increasing ...

Trauma and affect in a Holocaust survivor's story: Rosita Fanto's novel Rozalia Alone

Orbis Litterarum, EarlyView.
Abstract My article endeavors to redress the neglect of Rosita Fanto's Rozalia Alone (2010), which deals with a page of history that is less known worldwide, the Holocaust in Romania. Using a trauma studies perspective that mixes with affect theory, the article demonstrates that Rozalia Alone covers in a nutshell the whole magnitude of the late 1930s ...

Landscape conservation forecasting to evaluate ecological condition and wildlife habitat suitability in eastern Nevada U.S.A.

Restoration Ecology, EarlyView.
Abstract Introduction Cooperation among managers of protected areas and federal multiple use lands with private inholdings to increase restoration success and economies of scale creates ecological and regulatory complexity best studied with state‐and‐transition simulation models (STSM).

On the Flow of Avalanching Snow [PDF]

Journal of Glaciology, 1977
Abstract Variation of flow depth of a flowing avalanche caused by a change in the slope angle is examined using Bernoulli’s energy equation, used in hydraulics to determine a non-uniform steady flow. This equation is modified for a material with internal friction and a strongly curved track.

First Empirical Assessment of Ice Content From a Himalayan Rock Glacier

Geophysical Research Letters, Volume 53, Issue 17, 16 September 2026.
Abstract Climate warming and degradation of glaciers and permafrost in High Mountain Asia is threatening the sustainability of the region's natural “water towers” and allied ecosystems and infrastructure. Approximately 25,000 Himalayan rock glaciers exist and, being more resilient to climatic change than glaciers, they represent important freshwater ...

Calculation of Snow Avalanche Runout Distance [PDF]

Annals of Glaciology, 1983
Distance of maximum avalanche runout is calculated by four topographical factors. An empirical equation found by regression analysis of 206 avalanches is used to predict the maximum runout distance in terms of average gradient of the avalanche path (angle α).

Deep snow slab avalanches

, 2012
Deep slab avalanches are a unique and difficult-to-forecast natural hazard. This thesis analyzed a variety of data sources from southwestern Canada including two large databases and data collected at 27 recent deep slab avalanches.
