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: Fracture Energy of Weak Snowpack Layers
Date: 2010
Authors: Jürg Schweizer, Alec van Herwijnen, Benjamin Reuter
Description: Recent experimental and theoretical work has provided new insight into weak layer fracture in view of dry-snow slab avalanche release. The two main pa...

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 ...
