Rock-avalanche hazard in Møre & Romsdal, western Norway
(NGI Publication;203, Chapter, 1998)Flood waves generated by large rock avalanches have caused major disasters in Norway. Many of these events are restricted to a relatively limited zone in the counties Møre & Romsdal and Sogn & Fjordane. Geological studies ... -
Rows of vertical steel-silos filled with debris - an effective space-saving avalanche defense structure.
(Chapter, 2002)Multiplate steel configurations, primarily used for road tunnels and culverts, are introduced as effective, flexible and space-saving avalanche defence structures. Silos of specified height and profile are filled with ... -
A Rule Based Risk Management System Based on Maps and Danger Level
(The International Snow Science Workshop (ISSW) Proceedings;, Chapter, 2012)After a tragic accident where 16 soldiers were killed in an avalanche during a military exercise in 1986, the Norwegian Armed Forces took several steps to ensure the safety of soldiers. The result is a risk management ... -

The Ryggfonn 5m digital terrain model
(NGI-rapport;20110116-00-1-TN, Research report, 2011-04-12)This document describes how the 5m digital terrain model (DTM) for Ryggfonn has been made and how the data is formatted. -
The Ryggfonn project. Avalanche data from the winters 1994/95 and 1995/96
(NGI-rapport;58120-32, Research report, 1997-12-20)This report presents data collected from the full-scale Ryggfonn project during the winters 1994/95 and 1995/95. Only four avalanches were observed in the course of these two winters, three of which were naturally released ... -
The Ryggfonn project. Avalanche data from the winters 1996/97, 1997/1998, 1998/1999 and 1999/2000
(NGI-rapport;58120-33, Research report, 2001-11-01)This report presents data collected from the full-scale Ryggfonn project during the winters 1996/1997, 1997/1998, 1998/1999 and 1999/2000. The weather and snow conditions and avalanches characteristics are summarised. The ... -
The Ryggfonn project. Description of instrumentation and data registration system
(NGI-rapport;58120-03, Research report, 1983-06-10)The Ryggfonn avalanche path has been instrumented to measure: deflections on a 6 m high steel mast mounted at top of the test embankment by means of weldable strain gauges; wind speed of powder snow fronts by means of a ... -

"Safe haven" at road sides near avalanche prone sites
(The International Snow Science Workshop (ISSW) Proceedings;, Chapter, 2008)Snow avalanches cause threat to road traffic in mountainous areas in Iceland in wintertime. One or more vehicles are hit by avalanches every year but last year’s no fatal accidents due to snow avalanches have been reported. ... -
Safran/Crocus/Mepra models as an helping tool for avalanche forecasters
(NGI Publication;203, Chapter, 1998)To describe the great variability of the snow pack and to predict the avalanche risk in the French Alps and Pyrenees massifs, the «Centre d'Etudes de la Neige» (C.E.N.) of METEO-FRANCE has developed an automatic chain of ... -
Sand textural control on shear-enhanced compaction bands in poorly-lithified sandstone
(Journal article, 2014)Sand textural control on SECB (shear-enhanced compaction band) formation is analyzed combining field observations, detailed material characterization and mechanical testing for poorly lithified sandstone units in Provence ... -

Seabed structures and foundations related to deep-sea resource development: A review based on design and research
(Journal article, 2023)The deep‐sea ground contains a huge amount of energy and mineral resources, forexample, oil, gas, and minerals. Various infrastructures such asfloatingstructures, seabed structures, and foundations have been developed to ... -
Secondary Impacts of Climate Change on the Cryosphere - Chapter 5.1. Avalanches
(ETC/ACC Technical Paper;2010/13, Chapter, 2010)Key messages: • Average avalanche activity has not changed during the last decade, and climate change will only affect the lower altitudes • The event history of avalanches is extremely difficult to relate to climate ... -

Seismic location and tracking of snow avalanches and slush flows on Mt. Fuji, Japan
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2019)Avalanches are often released at the dormant stratovolcano Mt. Fuji, which is the highest mountain of Japan (3776 m a.s.l.). These avalanches exhibit different flow types from dry-snow avalanches in winter to slush flows ...
