Snow and ice avalanches in high mountain Asia–scientific, local and indigenous knowledge
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 …

A dilatant, two-layer debris flow model validated by flow density measurements at the Swiss illgraben test site
We propose a dilatant, two-layer debris flow model validated by full-scale density/saturation
measurements obtained from the Swiss Illgraben test site. Like many existing models, we …

An earthquake-triggered avalanche in Nepal in 2015 was exacerbated by climate variability and snowfall anomalies
Abstract On 25 April 2015, the Gorkha earthquake triggered a large rock-ice avalanche and
an air blast disaster in the Langtang Valley, Nepal. More than 350 people were killed or left …

Catastrophic air blasts triggered by large ice/rock avalanches
Dynamic response and breakage of trees subject to a landslide-induced air blast
Landslides have been known to generate powerful air blasts capable of causing destruction
and casualties far beyond the runout of sliding mass. The extent of tree damage provides …
