Title: FROM COMPACTION TO FAILURE: CREEP ACCELERATION AND BUCKLE FORMATION IN A GLIDING SNOW BEAM
Date: 2026-09-28
Authors: Grégoire Bobillier, Johan Gaume, Alec van Herwijnen, Christophe Ancey
Description: Glide-snow avalanches are difficult to predict and mitigate and can pose major challenges for the protection of roads, ski resorts, and buildings. The...

Title: The Role of Slope Angle, Ground Roughness and Stauchwall Strength in the Formation of Glide-Snow Avalanches in Forest Gaps
Date: 2013-10-07
Authors: T. Feistl, P. Bebi, P. Bartelt
Description: Mountain forests are a cost-efficient measure to prevent the release of glide-snow avalanches. However, avalanches still release in forest gaps. Well-...

Title: Where to Dig? – On Optimizing Sampling Strategy
Date: 2009
Authors: Jürg Schweizer, Sascha Bellaire
Description: Snow slope stability evaluation is often based on a single test location within a slope. However, we know that snow cover properties and stability may...
