Computational 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 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 کاملSnow 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 کاملApplication of a regional approach for hazard mapping at an avalanche site in northern Italy
The currently adopted approach to avalanche hazard mapping in northern Italy includes avalanche dynamic modelling, coupled with statistical analysis of snow depth at avalanche start. The 30-years and 300-years return period avalanches at a given site are modelled and their run out zone and pressure are evaluated. The snow depth in the avalanche release zone is assumed to coincide with the three...
متن کاملClimate warming enhances snow avalanche risk in the Western Himalayas
Ongoing climate warming has been demonstrated to impact the cryosphere in the Indian Himalayas, with substantial consequences for the risk of disasters, human well-being, and terrestrial ecosystems. Here, we present evidence that the warming observed in recent decades has been accompanied by increased snow avalanche frequency in the Western Indian Himalayas. Using dendrogeomorphic techniques, w...
