Surface oscillations in channeled snow flows

, 2007
An experimental device has been built to measure velocity profiles and friction laws in channeled snow flows. The measurements show that the velocity depends linearly on the vertical position in the flow and that the friction coefficient is a first-order

Loess Studies in Aotearoa New Zealand

New Zealand Journal of Geology and Geophysics, Volume 69, Issue 2, June 2026.
Loess in Aotearoa New Zealand (ANZ) has been studied since its first documented recognition (on Banks Peninsula) in 1878 by Julius von Haast. A decade later, John Hardcastle revealed that southern ANZ loess was both glacial in origin and contained signals of past climates.

Shaping future forests: how can ecophysiology support climate‐smart forest management?

New Phytologist, Volume 250, Issue 5, Page 2778-2813, June 2026.
Summary Climate change, particularly the associated increase in extreme events and disturbances, threatens the numerous environmental, social, and economic benefits that forests provide, both locally and globally. Heat and drought pose significant risks to forest ecosystems; the anticipated future climate is expected to exacerbate this trend ...

Impact of climate change on snowpack and avalanches in Slovenia: The Soča Valley case study

Geographia Polonica, 2023
The article discusses avalanche occurrence in the Slovenian Alps (SE Alps) in the context of climate change. It analyses the relationship between the North Atlantic Oscillation and maximum snow depth over the last two centuries, and the relationships ...

Feasibility Mapping of L‐Band InSAR for SWE Retrievals Across the Western United States

Geophysical Research Letters, Volume 53, Issue 10, 28 May 2026.
Abstract Mountain snowpacks provide vital water resources for communities in the western U.S. (WUS), but high spatial variability challenges accurate measurement of snow water equivalent (SWE) from remote sensing platforms. Studies using repeat airborne L‐band (∼25 cm wavelength) Interferometric Synthetic Aperture Radar (InSAR) have demonstrated ...

Wet Granular Materials

, 2006
Most studies on granular physics have focused on dry granular media, with no liquids between the grains. However, in geology and many real world applications (e.g., food processing, pharmaceuticals, ceramics, civil engineering, constructions, and many ...

Measure Less, Map More: Using Machine Learning, Physiography, and Prior Depth Maps to Extrapolate In‐Swath Snow Depth Measurements Across Mountain Basins

Geophysical Research Letters, Volume 53, Issue 10, 28 May 2026.
Abstract Basin‐wide snow depth (SD) maps can support operational water supply assessments, but their availability is limited by measurement costs (airborne) or sampling constraints (satellite and drone). We present Swath‐random forest (RF), a methodology that trains random forests on SD measured within a narrow swath (<10% of a basin) to extrapolate ...

Presoja varovalnega učinka gozda pred snežnimi plazovi

Acta Silvae et Ligni, 2016
The road leading to the Vršič Pass is threatened by snow avalanches, and the forests above it are performing a protective function against them. We analysed potential hazard to the road and forests above it from snow avalanches, and evaluated the ...
