The mountain cryosphere of mainland Europe is recognized to have important impacts on a
range of environmental processes. In this paper, we provide an overview on the current …

Ongoing climate warming has been demonstrated to impact the cryosphere in the Indian
Himalayas, with substantial consequences for the risk of disasters, human well-being, and …

In recent years, due to warmer snow cover, there has been a significant increase in the
number of cases of damage caused by gliding snowpacks and glide avalanches. On most …

We present measurements of hillslope debris flow impact pressures on small obstacles. Two
impact sensors have been installed in a real-scale experimental site where 50 m 3 of water …

The impact dynamics of dilute debris flows (typically volumetric solid fractions< 50%) have
been extensively investigated within the framework of hydraulics. For dense debris flows, the …

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 …

The paper analyses and compares infrasonic and seismic data from snow avalanches
monitored at the Vallée de la Sionne test site in Switzerland from 2009 to 2010. Using a …

A long-standing problem in avalanche science is to understand how forests stop
avalanches. In this paper we quantify the effect of forests on small and medium avalanches …

Snow avalanches break, uproot and overturn trees causing damage to forests. The extent of
forest damage provides useful information on avalanche frequency and intensity. However …

Observations of the deposits, flow marks, and damages of three mixed-snow avalanches of
widely different size were analyzed with regard to flow regimes, velocities, pressures …
