[HTML][HTML] A theoretical framework for dynamic anticrack and supershear propagation in snow slab avalanches
Snow slab avalanches release after the failure and collapse of a weak layer buried below a
cohesive snow slab. The initial failure is induced by local overloading of the slab, such that …

Supershear crack propagation in snow slab avalanche release: new insights from numerical simulations and field measurements
The release process of dry-snow slab avalanches begins with a localized failure within a
porous, weak snow layer that lies beneath a cohesive slab. Subsequently, rapid crack …

If a slab avalanche is triggered, how big will it be? This question is crucial for avalanche
forecasters and backcountry travelers alike, yet it is difficult to provide an answer. Indeed …
