ISSW special edition EP7 - How does a changing climate impact avalanche hazard? - Skredpodden Our climate is changing and this means that the avalanches will change. Many of our models are built around cold snow avalanches, but in a warming climate we need to update our understanding of how wa...

Why do I talk about surfing and beachvolleyball in an avalanche podcast? And what does climate change have to do with it? You gotta listen into it to find out...

Supershear crack propagation in snow slab avalanche release: new insights from numerical simulations and field measurements Abstract. 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 propagation may ...

Have you ever wondered how #crack #propagation in weak snow layers influences the size of the release area of #slab #avalanches? If yes, you might wanna check out this preprint paper by my colleagues: nhess.copernicus.org/preprints/nh... 1/2
