Temperature gradient metamorphism and its relation with the avalanche release
(NGI Publication;203, Chapter, 1998)In winter there is a considerable amount of solid precipitation in the western part of Himalayas. Avalanche frequently occur here, and often endanger national economic construction and human life. Observations show that ... -
The temporal and spatial variation of snow pressure on structures
(Journal article, 1985)Measurements of snow creep pressure on an avalanche-defence structure in western Norway are presented. Two different types of measurement methods are described and evaluated. Pressure data from four winters are correlated ... -
Temporal changes in the spatial variability of shear strength and stability.
(The International Snow Science Workshop (ISSW) Proceedings;, Chapter, 2006)Avalanche forecasting involves the prediction of spatial and temporal variability of the snowpack. To predict avalanches with more accuracy it is important to determine whether the snowpack is becoming more spatially ... -
Temporal evolution of flow-like landslide hazard for a road infrastructure in the municipality of Nocera Inferiore (southern Italy) under the effect of climate change
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2018)In recent years, flow-like landslides have extensively affected pyroclastic covers in the Campania region in southern Italy, causing human suffering and conspicuous economic damages. Due to the high criticality of the area, ... -
Testing Tsunami Inundation Maps for Evacuation Planning in Italy
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2021)nundation maps are a fundamental tool for coastal risk management and in particular for designing evacuation maps and evacuation planning. These in turn are a necessary component of the tsunami warning systems’ last-mile. ... -
The 2014 Lake Askja rockslide-induced tsunami: Optimization of numerical tsunami model using observed data
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2017)A large rockslide was released from the inner Askja caldera into Lake Askja, Iceland, on 21 July 2014. Upon entering the lake, it caused a large tsunami that traveled about ∼3 km across the lake and inundated the shore ... -
The 2017 rigopiano avalanche—dynamics inferred from field observations
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2020)This note first summarizes the history of the manuscript “On a Continuum Model for Avalanche Flow and Its Simplified Variants” by Grigorian and Ostroumov—published in this Special Issue—since the early 1990s and explains ... -
The 27 February 2022 Lop Nor Earthquake: Detectability, Location, and Discrimination
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2022) -
The 29th January 2014 submarine landslide at Statland, Norway—landslide dynamics, tsunami generation, and run-up
(Journal article, 2016)A coastal landslide occurred at Statland, Namdalseid county, mid-Norway, on January 29, 2014, and generated a local tsunami. Neither the landslide nor the tsunami resulted in severe casualties, but the landslide tsunami ... -
The Challenges of Mitigation Measures in Longyearbyen Svalbard
(Lecture, 2018)The Arctic regions are facing changes in climate; warmer weather and more intense precipitations are thought to be the consequences. Longyearbyen in Svalbard is one of those places where warmer weather has been influencing ... -
The compressible granular collapse in a fluid as a continuum: validity of a Navier-Stokes model with, -rheology
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2021) -
The correlation between pO2 and pCO2 as a chemical marker for detection of offshore CO2 leakage
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2020)A controlled CO2 release experiment was carried out in order to mimic unintended leakage of geologically stored CO2, and to study methods for detecting these leak events. The experiment was carried out at 60 m depth in the ... -
The decomposition and emission factors of a wide range of PFAS in diverse, contaminated organic waste fractions undergoing dry pyrolysis
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2023) -
The different faces of biochar: contamination risk versus remediation tool
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2017)This article reviews the different aspects of biochar as source and sink of organic and inorganic contaminants. Biochar can contain organic contaminants such as polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons or heavy metals. As the ... -
The distribution of persistent, mobile and toxic (PMT) pharmaceuticals and personal care products monitored across Chinese water resources
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2021)Hazard classifications have recently been introduced for persistent, mobile and toxic (PMT) and very persistent and very mobile (vPvM) substances, which are those that negatively impact water resources if substantially ... -
The effect of biochar, lime and ash on maize yield in a long-term field trial in a Ultisol in the humid tropics
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2020)A multi-season field trial was carried out to investigate the effect of the amendment of biochar, lime, ash and washed biochar on the growth of maize. A degraded, strongly acidic Ultisol (pHKCl 3.60), with a relatively ... -

The Effects of Gliricidia-Derived Biochar on Sequential Maize and Bean Farming
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2018)The addition of biochar to soils can improve soil fertility and increase agricultural productivity. We carried out a field experiment in which biochar produced from Gliricidia sepium (Jacq.) Kunth ex Walp. was added to ... -
The effects of soil organic matter on leaching of hexavalent chromium from concrete waste: Batch and column experiments
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2022)Concrete is one of the most common building materials in the world and in accordance with the world’s shift to a circular economy, there is a need of an increase in concrete reuse and recycling. One of the environmental ...
