Snow and avalanche: the influence of forest on snowpack stability
Snow avalanches are among the most important disturbances that affect mountain ecosystems, influencing forest dynamics, establishment and mortality processes. At the same time, forests can affect the likelihood of avalanche release and can thus protect human settlements and infrastructures. The forest protective role is largely a function of forest stand structure, snow characteristics and topo...
متن کاملImpacts of forest drainage on flow regime
Lundin, L. 1994. Impacts of forest drainage on flow regime. Studia Forestalia Suecica 192. 22 pp. ISSN 0039-3150, ISBN 91-576-4872-7. High floods in watercourses are of great interest. because of the potential hazards they pose to people and low-lying land near rivers. In many parts of the world, inundations are common and in northwest Europe there are high discharges almost every year, occasio...
متن کاملSnow Avalanche Admonisher through Wireless Sensor Network
The temperature reaches around -40C to -60C in hilly and mountainous areas during winters which may lead to many probable natural hazards. Defence personnel as well as civilians are unaware of these hazards. Amongst all the natural hazards, Snow Avalanche is one of the major hazards which has the probability of occurrence in the above listed temperature range. The aim of this paper is to bring ...
متن کاملComputational snow avalanche simulation in forested terrain
Two-dimensional avalanche simulation software operating in three-dimensional terrain is widely used for hazard zoning and engineering to predict runout distances and impact pressures of snow avalanche events. Mountain forests are an effective biological protection measure against avalanches; however, the protective capacity of forests to decelerate or even to stop avalanches that start within f...
متن کاملSnow and avalanche test sites French avalanche research: experimental test sites
This paper contains a short description of the experimental Lautaret site dedicated to avalanche dynamic studies. Since the seventies, many experimental campaigns allowed measuring different avalanche parameters such as velocity, height and pressure. Technical development have been also carried in this site and are presented here. More recently, a chute for physical modelling of avalanche motio...
