A reliability assessment of physical vulnerability of reinforced concrete walls loaded by snow avalanches [PDF]
Natural Hazards and Earth System Sciences, 2013 Abstract. Snow avalanches are a threat to many kinds of elements (human beings, communication axes, structures, etc.) in mountain regions. For risk evaluation, the vulnerability assessment of civil engineering structures such as buildings and dwellings exposed to avalanches still needs to be improved.

Distribution planning in a weather-dependent scenario with stochastic travel times: a simheuristics approach [PDF]
, 2018 In real-life logistics, distribution plans might be affected by weather conditions (rain, snow, and fog), since they might have a significant effect on traveling times and, therefore, on total distribution costs.

Development and parameter estimation of snowmelt models using spatial snow-cover observations from MODIS [PDF]
Hydrology and Earth System Sciences, 2022 Given the importance of snow on different land and atmospheric processes, accurate representation of seasonal snow evolution, including distribution and melt volume, is highly imperative to any water resources development trajectories.
