Title: Dissipation and Most Probable Flow States: The Role of Mechanical Work and Granular Fluctuations in Snow Avalanches: Date: 2006; Authors: Perry Bartelt, Martin Kern, Othmar Buser; Description: There are many simple questions in snow avalanche dynamics that remain unanswered: why do snow avalanches travel so far and appear to have so little f...; Object ID: issw-2006-127.pdf; Keywords: avalanche dynamics; View additional details about Dissipation and Most Probable Flow States: The Role of Mechanical Work and Granular Fluctuations in Snow Avalanches

Title: Interaction of Flexible Rockfall Barriers With Avalanches and Snow Pressure: Date: 2006; Authors: Stefan Margreth, Andrea Roth; Description: Rockfall barriers are optimized to absorb high punctual impact energies. In mountain areas the barriers are also loaded by avalanches and snow pressu...; Object ID: issw-2006-691-700.pdf; Keywords: avalanche protection, rockfall barrier, avalanche dynamics, snow pressure; View additional details about Interaction of Flexible Rockfall Barriers With Avalanches and Snow Pressure

Title: The Importance of Snow Entrainment in Avalanche Dynamics Calculations: Date: 2004; Authors: Betty Sovilla, Perry Bartelt, Stefan Margreth; Description: Numerical models that predict flow velocities and runout distances of extreme avalanche events are used to delimit hazard maps. These models contain m...; Object ID: issw-2004-065-073.pdf; Keywords: avalanche dynamics, avalanche mass balance, entrainment, deposition, numerical modelling; View additional details about The Importance of Snow Entrainment in Avalanche Dynamics Calculations

Title: Study of the 1999 Avalanches in the Obergoms Valley, Switzerland, With Respect to Avalanche Hazard Mapping: Date: 2000; Authors: Urs Gruber, Perry Bartelt; Description: The Obergoms valley is a highly visited tourist region in south-western Switzerland. It was dramatically struck by avalanches during the Winter of 199...; Object ID: issw-2000-495-500.pdf; Keywords: avalanche hazard mapping, avalanche dynamics, deflecting dams, deposition depths; View additional details about Study of the 1999 Avalanches in the Obergoms Valley, Switzerland, With Respect to Avalanche Hazard Mapping

Title: Overview of the 1999 Measurements at the SLF Test-Site Vallee De La Sionne: Date: 2000; Authors: Francois Dufour, Urs Gruber, Perry Bartelt, Walter J. Ammann; Description: Three large avalanches were artificially triggered on January 30th, February 10th and February 25th 1999, at the Vallee de la Sionne test site of the ...; Object ID: issw-2000-527-534.pdf; Keywords: avalanche deposits, avalanche dynamics, avalanche modelling, avalanche velocities, impact forces, avalanche experiments, avalanche forces; View additional details about Overview of the 1999 Measurements at the SLF Test-Site Vallee De La Sionne
