Snow avalanches are the main natural hazard in snow covered mountainous areas
worldwide, frequently threatening lives and infrastructure. Avalanche research is inherently …

Poyang Lake is the largest freshwater lake in China. Monitoring changes of its water area is
essential for the conservation of important wetlands and ecological resources, and plays an …

Knowledge of the spatio-temporal occurrence of avalanche activity is critical for avalanche
forecasting. We present a near-real time automatic avalanche monitoring system that …

In this study, we develop a novel method to automatically detect areas of snow avalanche
debris using a color space segmentation technique applied to synthetic aperture radar …

Accurate prediction of snow avalanche runout-distances in a deterministic sense remains a
challenge due to the complexity of all the physical properties involved. Therefore, in many …

Snow avalanches cause significant loss of life and infrastructure in snow covered mountain
areas worldwide. Our understanding and ability to forecast avalanche activity in space and …

With the rapid development of satellite observation datasets, avalanche detection algorithms
are not as accurate as visual interpretation, limiting avalanche hazard management. To …

Avalanche disasters are extremely destructive and catastrophic, often causing serious
casualties, economic losses and surface erosion. However, far too little attention has been …

Snow avalanches are the predominant hazards in winter in high-elevation mountains. They
cause damage to both humans and assets but cannot be accurately predicted. Here we …

Snow avalanches cause a sudden change of snow properties making them detectable with
synthetic aperture radar (SAR). However, steep alpine terrain combined with the slant view …
