Title: The Temporal Variations of Near-Surface Faceted Crystals, Red Mountain Pass Corridor, Colorado: Date: 1998; Authors: Joe Stock, Kelly Elder, Karl Birkeland; Description: Avalanches are an important natural hazard. Slab avalanches initiate when a more cohesive layer lies over a less cohesive weak layer and the stresses ...; Object ID: issw-1998-265-269.pdf; Keywords: snow crystals, snow metamorphism, snow stability, avalanches; View additional details about The Temporal Variations of Near-Surface Faceted Crystals, Red Mountain Pass Corridor, Colorado

Title: A Study of an Avalanche at Niseko, Japan: Date: 1998; Authors: A. Hachikubo, J. McElwaine, M. Nemoto, T. Kaihara, T. Yamada, K. Nishimura; Description: On 28th January 1998 an avalanche accident occurred near the Japanese ski resort Niseko Alpen in Hokkaido.
