Title: Snow Creep Movement in the San Juan Mountain Snowpack Red Mountain Pass: Date: 1994; Authors: Walter Walker; Description: During the winter of 1992/93 and 1993/94 an attempt was made to measure and document the amount of snow creep on a north-facing slope near the St. Pau...; Object ID: issw-1994-408-413.pdf; Keywords: snow growth, snowpack, accelerated creep; View additional details about Snow Creep Movement in the San Juan Mountain Snowpack Red Mountain Pass

Title: An Investigation of Sun Crust Formation Using Field Data and Laboratory Experiments: Date: 1992; Authors: Toshihiro Ozeki, Eizi Akitaya; Description: Sun crust formation mechanism is investigated through field observations as well as laboratory experiments. From the field observations, the structure...; Object ID: issw-1992-342-350.pdf; Keywords: sun crust, hoar growth, stability, snow pack; View additional details about An Investigation of Sun Crust Formation Using Field Data and Laboratory Experiments

Title: Local Transformations to Simulate Two Dimensional Dendritic Crystal Growth: Date: 1986; Authors: Walter Good; Description: Natural processes that are far from near-quilibrium and show forms of self- organization are extremely difficult to model with classical physical met...; Object ID: issw-1986-103-107.pdf; Keywords: natural processes, model, crystal growth; View additional details about Local Transformations to Simulate Two Dimensional Dendritic Crystal Growth

Title: Growth Characteristics of Hoarfrost With Respect to Avalanche Occurrence: Date: 1986; Authors: Steven R. Breyfogle; Description: Studies in a maritime climate have found hoarfrost occurrence to be related to an inversion climate and topography, which produced high spatial variat...; Object ID: issw-1986-216-222.pdf; Keywords: hoarfrost, maritime climate, topography; View additional details about Growth Characteristics of Hoarfrost With Respect to Avalanche Occurrence
