- Title: Measurements of ECT Scores and Crack-Face Friction in Non-Persistent Weak Layers: What are the Implications for Practitioners?
- Date: 2012
- Authors: Ron Simenhois, Karl W. Birkeland, Alec van Herwijnen
- Description: Field observations suggest that avalanches releasing on non-persistent weak layers tend to slide on steeper slopes than other dry slab avalanches. Rec...

- Title: Some Insights Into Fracture Propagation in Weak Snowpack Layers
- Date: 2010
- Authors: Joachim Heierli, Alec van Herwijnen, Peter Gumbsch, Michael Zaiser
- Description: Dry snow slab avalanches form when fracture, once initiated in a weak snowpack layer, propagates over large distances, progressively debonding a vast ...
