Ice-rock avalanches which occur in glacial environments are controlled by the presence of
snow and ice in the moving material and by possible propagation onto icy basal surfaces. All …

Terrestrial and airborne laser scanning (TLS and ALS) techniques have only recently
developed to the point where they allow wide‐area measurements of snow distribution in …

Estimating the magnitude and the intensity of rapid landslides like debris flows is
fundamental to evaluate quantitatively the hazard in a specific location. Dynamic run-out …

Rock‐ice avalanches larger than 1× 106 m3 are high‐magnitude, low‐frequency events that
may occur in all ice‐covered, high mountain areas around the world and can cause …

Knowledge about lateral snow transport processes is essential for the description of the
spatial distribution of snow and therefore for the distribution of water on the lands surface …

Snow avalanche simulation software is a commonly used tool for hazard estimation and
mitigation planning. In this study a depth-averaged flow model, combining a simple …

It is well known that snow avalanches exhibit granulation phenomena, ie, the formation of
large and apparently stable snow granules during the flow. The size distribution of the …

Predicting the occurrence and spatial extent of extreme avalanches is a longstanding issue.
Using field data pooled from various sites within the same mountain range, authors showed …

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

Computer models, in combination with Geographic Information Sciences (GIS), play an
important role in up-to-date studies of travel distance, impact area, velocity or energy of …
