Avalanche prediction and strength-of-knowledge assessment
(Lecture, 2018)The NGI provides local avalanche forecasting, produces hazard maps and acts as an advisor for national and local authorities during emergencies. A main task is often to assess the likelihood of an avalanche reaching specific ... -
Avalanche probability: Slab release and the effect of forest cover
(Lecture, 2018)One of the main challenges in regard to hazard mapping is to estimate avalanche probabilities and avalanche size for a given path. One reason for this is the lack of sufficient data. By definition, avalanches of interest ... -
Avalanche rescue and mission risk in Norway 1996-2010
(The International Snow Science Workshop (ISSW) Proceedings;, Chapter, 2013)Well documented data from Norwegian avalanche rescue missions are evaluated according to risk assessment. Data have been collected from police records and logs from joint rescue coordination centres. Mission risk assessments ... -
Avalanche risk along a 420 kV transmission line in Iceland
(Chapter, 2008)Two transmission lines between Flj6tsdalur and Reyöarfjöröur in northeast Iceland have been investigated conceming snow avalanche hazard. As a basis for the calculations of the return periods of the avalanches, weather and ... -
Avalanche risk along a 420 kv transmission line in Iceland.
(The International Snow Science Workshop (ISSW) Proceedings;, Chapter, 2006)Two transmission lines between Fljótsdalur and Reyðarfjörður in northeast Iceland have been investigated concerning snow avalanche hazard. Given a specific level of probability of failure for both the lines less than ... -
Avalanche run-out on counter-slopes
(Journal article, 2003)Counter-slopes in avalanche paths influence avalanche flow in similarways as defence structures. Measurements and calculations of run-outon such slopes will improve our understanding of retaining damdesign. We have studied ... -
The avalanche situation in a special winter. Review of the 09/10 season in Norway.
(The International Snow Science Workshop (ISSW) Proceedings;, Chapter, 2010)The 2009/10 season featured significantly different snow conditions compared to the usually maritime snow pack in most of Norway. A stable high-pressure system over large parts of Europe led to low temperatures and limited ... -
The avalanche situation in Neskaupstadur, Iceland : A preliminary defensive plan
(NGI Publication;203, Chapter, 1998)The avalanche situation in the town of Neskaupstaôur is rather unique and in many respects more difficult than in any other place in Iceland. The avalanche risk is high in a large portion of the 2,7 km long residential ... -

Avalanches in Longyearbyen Svalbard 2015 and 2017: Avalanche Protection - Visions
(Journal article, 2017)Longyearbyen, the administrative centre of the Svalbard archipelago, is facing most types of natural hazards under a changing Arctic climate. The first indication in meteorological data of a change in climate was a heavy ... -
Avalanches in the context of climate change in the northern regions: Avalanche Protection - Visions
(Journal article, 2017)Avalanches have caused more than 1500 deaths the past 150 years in Norway. Development in rural areas make us more vulnerable to geohazards. Climatic warming with increased frequency and strength of extreme weather events ... -
AVO Modelling Considering Various Caprock and Reservoir Scenarios for Potential CO2 Storage in Smeaheie Area, Northern North Sea
(Chapter, 2019)We have performed a comparative study of undrained triaxial testing with five different laboratories, to explore the reproducibility of test results. Opalinus Clay was sourced as testing material from a borehole at the ... -
