The cryosphere is an important component of the global climate system. Cryospheric
components are sensitive to climate warming, and changes in the cryosphere can lead to …

Anthropogenic climate change is rapidly altering high mountain environments, including
changing the frequency, dynamic behavior, location, and magnitude of alpine mass …

This study examines the use of snow avalanche susceptibility maps (SASMs) to identify
areas prone to avalanches and develop measures to mitigate the risk in the Province of …

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 can destroy lives and infrastructure and are very important phenomena in
some regions of the world. This study maps snow avalanche susceptibility in Sirvan …

One of the purposes of dendrogeomorphic studies is to provide long and continuous
reconstructions of mass movements and to detect climate-induced trends in process activity …

Snow is highly sensitive to atmospheric warming. However, because of the lack of
sufficiently long snow avalanche time series and statistical techniques capable of …

This contribution presents a first comprehensive study of snow-avalanche activity in three
paths of the Chornohora range, located in southwestern Ukraine, based on historical …

Mountain protection forests can prevent natural hazards by reducing their onset and
propagation probabilities. In fact, individual trees act as natural barriers against …

This work proposes a holistic quantitative snow avalanche risk assessment that evaluates, at
reasonable computational costs and for various types of buildings, the impact of forest cover …
