Anthropogenic climate change is rapidly altering high mountain environments, including
changing the frequency, dynamic behavior, location, and magnitude of alpine mass …

Until recently, despite being one of the most important sediment transport phenomena on
Earth, few direct measurements of turbidity currents existed. Consequently, their structure …

Snow entrainment alters the speed and hence the run‐out distance of avalanches, yet little
is known about this significant process. We studied entrainment in snow avalanches using …

Snow erosion and entrainment processes in avalanches are classified according to their
mechanisms, the flow regimes in which they occur, and their spatial position within the …

The Savage–Hutter (SH) avalanche model is a depth-averaged dynamical model of a fluid-
like continuum implementing the following simplifying assumptions:(i) density preserving,(ii) …

Snow avalanches are typically initiated on marginally stable slopes with a surface layer of
fresh snow that may easily be incorporated into them. The erosion of snow at the front is …

Greenland's peripheral glaciers are losing mass at an accelerated rate and are contributing
significantly to sea level rise, but only a few direct observations are available. In this study …

Pulsed Doppler radar measurements from several avalanche releases are analyzed to gain
an in-depth understanding of avalanche dynamics. A pulsed Doppler radar emits short …

The net erosion-deposition rate of an avalanche is fundamental to its dynamics and in
determining its growth or decay. Small-scale experiments are performed by releasing a …

Monitoring snow avalanches is necessary in order to better understand their triggering
mechanisms and ultimately improve forecast performance. Seismic monitoring has been …
