The general structure analysis of avalanche (mudflow) risk assessment
(NGI Publication;203, Chapter, 1998)The basic structure of risk assessment is studied. The general form of the assessment formula consists of three components - temporal, spatial and anthropogenic ones. The role and contribution of these components are ... -
Geomorphologic and geobotanical features of slushflows (Khibiny mountains instance)
(NGI Publication;203, Chapter, 1998)The research area includes the Kolyma riverhead with tributaries. For this territory the extreme continental climate with very frost winters is common. The duration of snow cover is 200-230 days. The domination of low ... -
GIS aided avalanche warning in Norway.
(The International Snow Science Workshop (ISSW) Proceedings;, Chapter, 2008)By 2008 detailed avalanche warning for the entire Norway is not available. The Norwegian Meteorological Institute only issues a general warning for large regions of the country for danger level 4 or 5, mainly based on ... -
GIS-aided avalanche warning in Norway
(Journal article, 2014)Avalanche warning for large areas requires the processing of an extensive amount of data. Information relating to the three basic requirements for avalanche warning – knowledge of terrain, the snow conditions, and the ... -
Global landslide and avalanche hotspots
(Journal article, 2006-02-08)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
(Chapter, 2017)Most recentpublicationson natural hazards, if they mention slushflows at all, state that their impact onmankind will increase. However, milder weather, shorter winters, less snow and rise of the snowline will mainly shift ... -
Global warning reduces the consequences of snow-related hazards
(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 ... -
The Godtifonn avalanche
(Chapter, 2007)The group also had the chance to visit the Godtifonn avalanche track located about 25 km west of Stryn. 1 1/2 years previously, a huge avalanche event released and impacted one of the most important transnational roads ... -
Ground thermal and geomechanical conditions in a permafrost-affected high-latitude rock avalanche site (Polvartinden, northern Norway)
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2018)On 26 June 2008, a rock avalanche detached in the northeast facing slope of Polvartinden, a high-alpine mountain in Signaldalen, northern Norway. Here, we report on the observed and modelled past and present near-surface ... -
Grunnforskning snøskred. Snees grunnleggende egenskaper. Noen fysikalske og mekaniske aspekter
(NGI-rapport;58100-01, Research report, 1973-05-18) -
Human error revisited
(The International Snow Science Workshop (ISSW) Proceedings;, Chapter, 2012)It is often reported that a majority of avalanche accidents, as well as accidents in other fields, are caused by human error. In these accident analyses, the accidents are attributed to the "human factor". This factor is ... -
Hvor forekommer snøskred og hvilken rekkevidde har skredene i dalbunnene?
(Chapter, 1979)Snøskred kan forekomme i nær sagt alle typer terreng, fordi snø og værforholdene i løpet av et langt tidsrum i vårt klimaområde kan bli så ekstreme og snødekket så labilt samrnensatt at snøskred kan utløses safremt terrenget ... -
Icelandic avalanche run out models compared with topographical models used in other countries
(NGI Publication;203, Chapter, 1998)A statistical topographical model for the computation of runout for snow avalanches in Iceland has been derived from a recently assembled data sel of long Icelandic snow avalanches. The avalanches are from hills above towns ... -
ICG project 2: Vulnerability and risk assessment for geohazards. Case studies: Risk associated with avalanches.
(NGI-rapport;20061032-02, Research report, 2007-11-30)This report documents an approach for the probabilistic risk assessment for avalanches. It presents two case studies: 1) A case regarding the risk to a building in an avalanche path: 2) A study concerningtherisk to ... -
Identification of slushflow situations from regional weather models
(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 ... -
Impact of rapid mass movement and drifting snow on the infrastructure and development of Longyearbyen, Svalbard
(Lecture, 2000)The thermal regime and hydrological conditions in arctic regions are a threat and a challenge to human activity. In the Longyearbyen area, Svalbard, snow avalanches, slushflows, debris flows , creep and drifting snow ...
