Self-organized criticality model for brain plasticity

L De Arcangelis, C Perrone-Capano, HJ Herrmann - Physical review letters, 2006 - APS
Networks of living neurons exhibit an avalanche mode of activity, experimentally found in
organotypic cultures. Here we present a model that is based on self-organized criticality and …

Review of spatial variability of snowpack properties and its importance for avalanche formation

J Schweizer, K Kronholm, JB Jamieson… - Cold Regions Science …, 2008 - Elsevier
The seasonal snow cover is spatially variable. Spatial variability of layer properties is due to
various external and internal process drivers interacting with terrain and ground cover …

Map** and characterization of avalanches on mountain glaciers with Sentinel-1 satellite imagery

M Kneib, A Dehecq, F Brun, F Karbou, L Charrier… - The …, 2024 - tc.copernicus.org
Avalanches are important contributors to the mass balance of glaciers located in mountain

Hydromechanical triggering of landslides: From progressive local failures to mass release

P Lehmann, D Or - Water Resources Research, 2012 - Wiley Online Library
Water infiltrating during intense rainfall on steep slopes gradually weakens the wet soil
mass, inducing localized failures that may initiate a cascade of load redistributions and …

Monitoring avalanche activity using a seismic sensor

A Van Herwijnen, J Schweizer - Cold Regions Science and Technology, 2011 - Elsevier
Avalanche activity data represent the most direct instability data for avalanche forecasting.
Yet, avalanche observations are notoriously incomplete. With remote avalanche detection …
