A GIS method for assessment of rock slide tsunami hazard in Norwegian lakes and reservoirs
Romstad, Bård; Harbitz, Carl Bonnevie; Domaas, Ulrik (Journal article, 2009)An evaluation of rock slide tsunami hazard is applied to all Norwegian lakes larger than 0.1 km2 based on their topographical setting. The analysis results in a topographic rock slide potential score that indicates the ... -

Avalanche run-out on counter-slopes
Moe, Arne; Bakkehøi, Steinar; Wieshofer, Sigrid; Domaas, Ulrik (Journal article, 2003)Counter-slopes in avalanche paths influence avalanche flow in similarways as defence structures.

Avalanches in the context of climate change in the northern regions: Avalanche Protection - Visions
Domaas, Ulrik; Gisnås, Kjersti (Chapter, 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 ... -

Calculation of snow avalanche runout distance.
Bakkehøi, Steinar; Domaas, Ulrik; Lied, Karstein (Journal article, 1983)Evaluation of the maximum runout distance of snow avalanches is one of the most important problems in avalanche zoning. It is also one of the most difficult and controversial subjects in avalanche research. This is especially ... -

Design of snow avalanche deflecting dams
Harbitz, Carl Bonnevie; Domaas, Ulrik; Engen, Arne (Chapter, 2000)Extensive effort has been put into improved understanding of avalanche deflection over the last two years. This paper discusses construction of deflecting dams in steep terrain, and gives an in-depth description of the ... -
Effects of curvature in avalanche deflecting dams
Moe, Arne; Irgens, Fridtjov; Domaas, Ulrik; Harbitz, Carl Bonnevie (Chapter, 2005)Avalanches and other types of slides represent significant danger to people and property in large parts of the world. Deflecting dams, i.e. dams that change the courses of avalanches to prevent impact upon houses or roads, ... -
