    • Annual Report 2017 [SP 4 FoU Snøskred] 

      Issler, Dieter; Gauer, Peter; Gisnås, Kjersti; Glimsdal, Sylfest; Jaedicke, Christian; Sandersen, Frode (NGI-rapport;20170131-05-R, Research report, 2018-01-12)
      During the first year of the project period 2017–2019 of NGI's research project on snow avalanches, work was carried out in all five work packages (WP 1 – Ryggfonn and model development, WP 2 – Statistical tools, WP 3 – ...

    • Annual Report 2019 [SP4 FoU Snøskred] 

      Issler, Dieter; Gauer, Peter; Glimsdal, Sylfest; Jaedicke, Christian; Sandersen, Frode; Gisnås, Kjersti (NGI-rapport;20170131-17-R, Research report, 2020-05-28)
      NGI has conducted research on avalanches and related processes since 1973. This report gives a short insight in the work done in 2019. While experiments with artificial release of avalanches in the Ryggfonn experimental ...

    • Applied Avalanche Research in Norway: Fonnbu 50-year celebration 

      Gisnås, Kjersti; Issler, Dieter; Hancock, Holt (NGI-Rapport;20230100-02-R, Research report, 2023-11-10)
      NGI’s avalanche research station at Strynefjellet in western Norway was officially opened in October 1973, and in September 2023 NGI and the AARN project invited to a 3- day celebration in Stryn. The aim of the celebration ...

    • Avalanches in the context of climate change in the northern regions: Avalanche Protection - Visions 

      Domaas, Ulrik; Gisnås, Kjersti (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 ...

    • Five decades of warming: impacts on snow cover in Norway 

      Rizzi, Jonathan; Nilsen, Irene Brox; Stagge, James Howard; Gisnås, Kjersti; Tallaksen, Lena M. (Journal article, 2018)
      Northern latitudes are experiencing faster warming than other regions in the world, which is partly explained by the snow albedo feedback. In Norway, mean temperatures have been increasing since the 1990s, with 2014 being ...

    • Research Plan 2020–2022 

      Issler, Dieter; Jaedicke, Christian; Gauer, Peter; Gisnås, Kjersti; Frauenfelder, Regula; Salazar, Sean (NGI-Rapport;20200017-01-R, Research report, 2020-04-23)
      Snow avalanches are a significant natural hazard and common phenomenon in Norway. Each year, avalanches result in fatalities, evacuations, and interruptions or damage to infrastructure networks such as roads, railways, and ...

    • Wind simulations for use in local avalanche forecasting 

      Gisnås, Kjersti (NGI-rapport;20170131-19-TN, Research report, 2020-06-26)
      Quantification of release probabilities in local avalanche forecasting are depending on knowledge of historical weather characteristics as well as detailed knowledge of the wind driven snow distribution on a fine scale. ...
