      Allocating resources for natural hazard risk management has high priority in development banks and international agencies working in developing countries. Global hazard and risk maps for landslides and avalanches were ...

    • Global warning reduces the consequences of slushflows 

      Hestnes, Erik; Bakkehøi, Steinar; Jaedicke, Christian (Chapter, 2017)

    • Global warning reduces the consequences of snow-related hazards 

      Hestnes, Erik; Jaedicke, Christian (Lecture, 2018)
      Most recent publications dealing with consequences related to avalanches and slushflows state that their impact on mankind will increase. That is a highly debatable statement. Milder weather, shorter winters, less snow and ...

    • Identification of slushflow situations from regional weather models 

      Jaedicke, Christian; Høydal, Øyvind Armand; Midtbø, Knut Helge (Norwegian Geotechnical Institute;, Chapter, 2013)
      Slushflows are known phenomena that cause significant problems for settlements and infrastructure in Norway. Even though single events in the same location are rather rare compared to avalanches, slushflows do occur annually ...

    • The influence of drifting snow on the location of glaciers on western Spitsbergen, Svalbard 

      Jaedicke, Christian; Gauer, Peter (Journal article, 2005)
      On western Spitsbergen, Svalbard, the amount of winter precipitation is insufficient to maintain the present-day mass balance of the local glaciers. Additional snow mass must be added to the precipitation to reach the ...

    • Integrated database for rapid mass movements in Norway 

      Jaedicke, Christian; Lied, Karstein; Kronholm, Kalle (Journal article, 2009)
      Rapid gravitational slope mass movements include all kinds of short term relocation of geological material, snow or ice. Traditionally, information about such events is collected separately in different databases covering ...
