Snow avalanche hazard mapping has a long tradition in the European Alps. Hazard maps
delineate areas of potential avalanche danger and are only available for selected areas …

Avalanches pose a significant threat to the population and infrastructure of mountainous
regions. The mapping and documentation of avalanches in Austria is mostly done by experts …

The spatial distribution and size of avalanches are essential parameters for avalanche
warning, avalanche documentation, mitigation measure design and hazard zonation …

In this study, we develop a novel method to automatically detect areas of snow avalanche
debris using a color space segmentation technique applied to synthetic aperture radar …

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

With the rapid development of satellite observation datasets, avalanche detection algorithms
are not as accurate as visual interpretation, limiting avalanche hazard management. To …

Radar satellite-borne snow avalanche detection has rapidly grown into an important method
for monitoring of avalanche activity over large spatial and long temporal scales. With …

Abstract Information on snow depth and its spatial distribution is important for numerous
applications, including natural hazard management, snow water equivalent estimation for …

Snow avalanches are the predominant hazards in winter in high-elevation mountains. They
cause damage to both humans and assets but cannot be accurately predicted. Here we …

Avalanches are important contributors to the mass balance of glaciers located in mountain
ranges with steep topographies. Avalanches result in localized over-accumulation that is …
