In the rapidly evolving mountain cryosphere, snow avalanches threaten livelihoods,
settlements and infrastructure. In this Review, we analyse past and projected impacts of …

Snow avalanches cause fatalities and economic loss worldwide and are one of the most
dangerous gravitational hazards in mountainous regions. Various flow behaviors have been …

Understanding the entire process of hydraulic-related landslide reactivations is crucial for
risk assessment, which includes initiation and runout evolves from a small-deformation in …

Handling contact problems in the Material Point Method (MPM) has long been a challenge.
Traditional grid-based contact approaches often face issues with mesh dependency, while …

Snow is a highly porous material with properties that may strongly differ depending on the
environmental conditions. On slopes, the layered snowpack may fail and avalanches occur …

Understanding the dynamics of snow avalanches is crucial for predicting their destructive
potential and mobility. To gain insight into avalanche dynamics at a particle level, the …

Mass-movement hazards involving fast and large soil deformation often include huge rocks
or other significant obstacles increasing tremendously the risks for humans and …

Erosion significantly affects the dynamics of gravity-driven mass flows. In snow avalanches,
the snow cover can be substantially eroded but only partially entrained, however, there are …

Alpine mass movements can generate process cascades involving different materials
including rock, ice, snow, and water. Numerical modelling is an essential tool for the …

Mapping avalanche susceptibility is essential for disaster management, especially in
ungauged or poorly-gauged regions. Most existing machine-learning methods have a …
