Title: Tracking Melt-Freeze Crust Evolution in Val dâ€™Aran (Catalan Pyrenees): Date: 2013-10-07; Authors: Jon Apodaka, Montserrat Bacardit, IvÃ¡n Moner, Jordi GavaldÃ¡; Description: In the Pyrenees, melt-freeze and wind crusts are a very common element in the snow cover. Such layers have an important role in both dry and wet slab ...; Object ID: ISSW13_paper_P4-03.pdf; Keywords: melt-freeze crust, tracking, evolution, nivology, val dâ€™aran, pyrenees; View additional details about Tracking Melt-Freeze Crust Evolution in Val dâ€™Aran (Catalan Pyrenees)

Title: Tracking Melt-Freeze Crust Evolution: Date: 2012; Authors: Ryan Buhler, Sascha Bellaire, Bruce Jamieson; Description: Melt-freeze crusts are one of the most critical layers for slab avalanche formation. These layers usually undergo complex metamorphism and associated ...; Object ID: issw-2012-084-091.pdf; Keywords: melt-freeze crust, snowpack evolution, persistent weak layer, columbia mountains, thermal imaging, crust index; View additional details about Tracking Melt-Freeze Crust Evolution

Title: Near Infrared Photography to Quantify Temporal Changes in Melt-Freeze Crusts: Date: 2010; Authors: Michael Smith, Bruce Jamieson; Description: Objective quantification of snowpack stratigraphy is a difficult task, especially when multiple observers may be tracking changes over time. Propertie...; Object ID: ISSW_P-013.pdf; Keywords: specific surface area, crust evolution, near-infrared photography, snowpack stratigraphy; View additional details about Near Infrared Photography to Quantify Temporal Changes in Melt-Freeze Crusts

Title: Tracking Changes in Buried Melt Freeze Crusts: Date: 2009; Authors: Michael Smith, Bruce Jamieson; Description: Melt freeze crusts are a frequent occurrence in the mid-latitudes, often forming in the snowcover due to rain or wet snow in the fall and insolation i...; Object ID: issw-2009-0107-0111.pdf; Keywords: specific surface area, crust evolution, near-infrared photography, snowpack stratigraphy; View additional details about Tracking Changes in Buried Melt Freeze Crusts

Title: Faceted Melt Forms, a Deadly and Unpredictable Weak Layer: Date: 2009; Authors: Bill Glude; Description: Faceted melt forms are a particularly persistent and difficult-to-predict weak layer we have commonly found in Alaska and in the Japanese Alps. This ...; Object ID: issw-2009-0092-0096.pdf; Keywords: avalanche, case histories, persistent weak layer, facets, faceted melt forms; View additional details about Faceted Melt Forms, a Deadly and Unpredictable Weak Layer

Title: Unsteady Heat Flow From a Buried Melt-Freeze Crust: Date: 1982; Authors: Richard Armstrong; Description: When a melt-freeze crust which remains at or near OÂ°C is buried by a colder snow layer a condition of unsteady heat flow develops. How long would t...; Object ID: issw-1982-010.pdf; Keywords: diffusivity, melt-freeze crust, metamorphism; View additional details about Unsteady Heat Flow From a Buried Melt-Freeze Crust
