Can the propagation speed of snow avalanches be determined by seismic methods?
The main question of the given work is whether the propagation speed of snow avalanches can be determined using seismic observations. The significance of having at least an order of magnitude estimate of this basic physical parameter is doubtless: in order to reduce the risks associated with this frequently occurring natural phenomena it is crucial to design the constructions (including protect...
متن کاملSnow Avalanche: Study and Detection using Remote Sensing Techniques
Snow avalanche is one of the most life-claiming calamities in the world. In avalancheprone regions, it is necessary to alert the population about such events beforehand to abate the effects. Hence it is important to build a snow avalanche detection system which will also detect landslides. To understand how an avalanche is started, snow physics needs to be understood which describes us about ty...
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 کاملApplying New Uncertainty Related Theories and Multicriteria Decision Analysis Methods to Snow Avalanche Risk Management
Taking the “best” decision is an important issue in the natural risks expertise and management process because of lack of information and knowledge about natural phenomena and also because of the heterogeneity and reliability of information sources (historical data, field measures, expert judgements). One main problem is therefore to help decision making with regard to the respective quality, i...
