Title: Application and Limitations of Dynamic Models for Snow Avalanche Hazard Mapping: Date: 2008-09-22; Authors: Bruce Jamieson, Stefan Margreth, Alan Jones; Description: Dynamic models, initially based on fluid flow, have been used since the 1950s for modelling the motion and runout of extreme snow avalanches. The fric...; Object ID: P__8052.pdf; Keywords: snow avalanche, hazard mapping, runout, dynamic model, uncertainty, friction coefficients; View additional details about Application and Limitations of Dynamic Models for Snow Avalanche Hazard Mapping
