In the rapidly evolving mountain cryosphere, snow avalanches threaten livelihoods,
settlements and infrastructure. In this Review, we analyse past and projected impacts of …

The cryosphere in high mountain Asia (HMA) not only sustains the livelihoods of people
residing downstream through its capacity to store water but also holds the potential for …

Predicting avalanche activity from meteorological and snow cover simulations is critical in
mountainous areas to support operational forecasting. Several numerical and statistical …

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 …

Monitoring variations in the extent of wet snow over space and time is essential for many
applications, such as hydrology, mountain ecosystems, meteorology and avalanche …

Snow avalanches constitute a dangerous natural hazard in snow-clad mountain regions.
Spaceborne synthetic aperture radar (SAR) has emerged as an effective tool for monitoring …

Automated avalanche detection has previously relied on satellite imagery, which is typically
unsuitable for real-time monitoring due to long revisit times. To address this, we propose …

For many safety-related applications such as hazard map** or road management, well-
documented avalanche events are crucial. Nowadays, despite the variety of research …

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 …
