A method for imaging water transport in soil–snow systems with neutron radiography

Annals of Glaciology
Liquid water at the ground–snow interface is thought to play a crucial role in the release of glide-snow avalanches, which can be massive and threaten infrastructure in alpine regions.

Stress measurements in the weak layer during snow stability tests

Annals of Glaciology
The snow compression test is a snow stability test where an isolated column of snow is progressively loaded by tapping on it to induce failure in a possible weak layer.

Viscoelastic analysis of stress waves through cohesive snow in layered and 2D configurations

Journal of Glaciology
Dynamic surface loads generate stress waves in snow that can trigger slab avalanches. Previously, we determined Maxwell-viscoelastic model parameters from one-dimensional, homogeneous laboratory experiments resembling Compression Tests (CTs).

Transient wave activity in snow avalanches is controlled by entrainment and topography

Communications Earth & Environment
Waves are omnipresent in avalanches on Earth and other planets. The dynamic nature of waves makes them dangerous in geological hazards such as debris flows, turbidity currents, lava flows, and snow avalanches.

Risk analysis for landslides and snow avalanches. Example applications for snow avalanches

, 1999
Prediction of snow avalanche occurrence and its run-out distance inherently involves many uncertainties. The main reason for the large uncertainties is that the mechanical behaviour of snow is extremely complicated, and other external factors that affect the problem, such the climate, wind direction, amount of snowfall, loading rate, etc.

Snow forces, avalanches, and avalanche mitigation methods

, 2022
Snøskred utgjør en betydelig trussel mot menneskeliv og infrastruktur i fjellområder. Permanente sikringstiltak, slik som stive gjerder, fleksible nett, voller, skredoverbygg eller tunneler, kan brukes for å beskytte mot skredfare. For å oppnå tilfredsstillende utforming og dimensjonering av sikringstiltak er det viktig med tilstrekkelig forståelse av ...
