Avalanche prediction and strength-of-knowledge assessment

The positionality effect is present regardless of level of avalanche training, and suggests that current avalanche education does not change ones positionality related

1) The topography and climate of the study area allows for snow avalanches, and, generally speaking, most of the railway lies within potential snow avalanche run-out areas. Within the

Applying the amplitude source location (ASL) method for the first time to avalanches, several avalanche events have been seismically identified in each of three analyzed avalanche

With regard to the general mitigation strategies mentioned above, knowledge of avalanche dynamics can help to reduce both exposure and vulnerability: Given an avalanche scenario

Middle-to late-Holocene storminess in Brittany (NW France): Part II–The chronology of events and climate forcing. A Holocene record of snow-avalanche and flood activity

Snow avalanches are a common natural hazard on Spitsbergen, the largest island in the Svalbard archipelago. The climatological setting here as the warmest and wettest region in the

Supporting structures: such as Anti drifting structures, snow bridges and snow nets; Placed In the starting zones of avalanches to resist the threat of avalanche oc-.. curring

The results of this study also suggest that cornice fall avalanches are not necessarily a requirement for avalanche fan development in central Svalbard, as a large avalanche fan
