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

Until recently, despite being one of the most important sediment transport phenomena on
Earth, few direct measurements of turbidity currents existed. Consequently, their structure …

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 …

In mountain territories, snow avalanches are a prevalent threat. Long-term risk management
involves defining meaningful compromises between protection and overall sustainability of …

Positron Emission Particle Tracking (PEPT) is a technique which allows the three-
dimensional, internal dynamics of opaque systems to be imaged with high temporal and …

Recurring slope lineae (RSL) are dark linear markings on Mars that regrow annually and
likely originate from the flow of either liquid water or granular material. Following the great …

Avalanches and other hazardous mass movements pose a danger to the population and
critical infrastructure in alpine areas. Hence, understanding and continuously monitoring …

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 …

Snow avalanches cause fatalities and economic damage. Key to their mitigation is the
understanding of snow avalanche dynamics. This study investigates the dynamic behavior …

The mitigation of rapid mass movements involves a subtle interplay between field surveys,
numerical modelling, and experience. Hazard engineers rely on a combination of best …
