Title: Snowpack Spatial Variability in the Chugach Mountain Range: Date: 2004; Authors: Jerry Hance; Description: A case study: how spatial variations in snowpack influence guides directing human travel patterns during a day of heliskiing near Thompson Pass in th...; Object ID: issw-2004-298.pdf; Keywords: spatial variability, safety, snowpack, structures; View additional details about Snowpack Spatial Variability in the Chugach Mountain Range

Title: Temporal Changes in the Spatial Variability of Shear Strength and Stability: Date: 2004; Authors: Spencer Logan, Karl Birkeland, Kalle Kronholm, Kathy Hansen; Description: Avalanche forecasting involves the prediction of spatial and temporal variability of the snowpack. To predict avalanches with more accuracy it is impo...; Object ID: issw-2004-315-334.pdf; Keywords: spatial variability, avalanches, avalanche forecasting, temporal change; View additional details about Temporal Changes in the Spatial Variability of Shear Strength and Stability

Title: Multi-Scale Spatial Variability of a Layer of Buried Surface Hoar: Date: 2004; Authors: Jurg Schweizer , Kalle Kronholm; Description: Spatial variability of the snowpack exists at different scales. Various studies have investigated and quantified snowpack spatial variability at eith...; Object ID: issw-2004-335-342.pdf; Keywords: spatial variability, snow stability, avalanche forecasting; View additional details about Multi-Scale Spatial Variability of a Layer of Buried Surface Hoar
