Twenty-five years of snow and avalanche research at NGI: Geotechnique contributions.
(NGI Publication;203, Chapter, 1998)In this paper, I wish to review the far reaching contributions from snow and avalanche research at NG! over the last 25 years. My review is based on my own association with the research at NGI (24 years) as well as the ... -
The use of a numerical snow-drift model as a decision making tool in the planning of avalanche protection measures.
(The International Snow Science Workshop (ISSW) Proceedings;, Chapter, 2002)Blowing and' drifting snow is not only a major factor in the assessment of the acute avalanche danger, its contribution to the snow distribution also influences land-use planning. In many parts of alpine terrain end an ... -
Using of GIS technology for avalanche hazard mapping, scale 1:10 000
(NGI Publication;203, Chapter, 1998)The sites with the size of 50·50 m2 having a various probability of avalanche formation were revealed for a given territory covering an area of 3·4 km2. Crossclassification of sites considering their slopes and snow cover ... -
Verification of avalanche bulletins by questionnaires
(NGI Publication;203, Chapter, 1998)The paper describes how avalanche bulletins (regional and national) are being verified by means of questionnaires in Switzerland. At the beginning of winter 1996/97 a set of four questionnaires has been introduced: • ... -

Weather and snowpack conditions essential to slushflow release and downslope propagation
(The International Snow Science Workshop (ISSW) Proceedings;, Chapter, 1994)Rapid mass movement of water-saturated snow, usually known as slushflow or slush avalanche, is a major natural hazard in Norway. Slushflows occur in winter during heavy rainfall, as well as due to intense thaw in spring. ...
