Title: The Effects of Temperature on Shear Failure of Alpine Snow: Date: 1988; Authors: D.M. McClung, P.A. Anhorn; Description: Studies at fracture lines of fallen dry snow slabs show that the stratigraphy consists of a relatively thick slab on top of a thin, weak layer. A prin...; Object ID: issw-1988-207-210.pdf; Keywords: stratigraphy, dry snow, slabs, fracture lines, weak layer, snow temperature; View additional details about The Effects of Temperature on Shear Failure of Alpine Snow

Title: Grain Growth in Snow With a Temperature Gradient: Date: 1982; Authors: S.C. Colbeck; Description: When a temperature gradient is imposed on a snow cover, a vapor pressure gradient arises as well. The resulting vapor flow among particles causes gra...; Object ID: issw-1982-008-009.pdf; Keywords: vapor pressure, grain growth, crystals; View additional details about Grain Growth in Snow With a Temperature Gradient

Title: A Branch Grain Theory of Temperature Gradient Metamorphism: Date: 1982; Authors: Richard A. Sommerfeld; Description: Temperature gradient metamorphism in snow results in the development of branch grains (Kry, 1975) at the expense of other types of grains.
