This paper introduces the concept of using an existing low-volume road design method to lower granular layers within a mechanistic-empirical ensure adequate construction platform. The DCP-DN was chosen because it has advantages over other cover-based empirical methods in this context, including utilizing full-depth measurement and requiring balanced layer profile. To implement use field Dynamic...

The stratigraphy of an alpine snowpack is very important for avalanche danger assessment, as well as interpretation of remote sensing measurements for hydrological purposes. Since spatial variability is often widespread, due mainly to wind, micro-climatic and topographic effects, extrapolating point measurements can be difficult. Tools which can quickly characterize snowpack stratigraphy, such ...
