      Barbolini, Massimiliano; Domaas, Ulrik; Faug, Thierry; Gauer, Peter; Hákonardóttir, Kristín Martha; Harbitz, Carl Bonnevie; Issler, Dieter; Jóhannesson, Tómas; Lied, Karstein; Naaim, Mohamed; Naaim-Bouvet, Florence (EUR;23339, Research report, 2009)
      This book discusses the design of dams and other protective measures in the run-out zones of wet- and dry-snow avalanches. It summarises recent theoretical developments and the results of field and laboratory studies, ...
    • The design of avalanche protection dams. Recent practical and theoretical developments 

      Johannesson, Tomas; Gauer, Peter; Lied, Karstein; Barbolini, Massimiliano; Domaas, Ulrik; Faug, Thierry; Hakonardottir, Kristin Martha; Harbitz, Carl Bonnevie; Issler, Dieter; Naaim, Florence; Naaim, Mohamed; Rammer, Lambert (Lecture, 2008)
      Recent experimental and theoretical studies of the flow of avalanches against obstructions have been used, in combination with traditional design guidelines, to formulate recommendations for the design of dams and other ...
    • Looking Beyond the Powder/Dense FlowAvalanche Dichotomy 

      Faug, Thierry; Turnbull, Barbara; Gauer, Peter (Journal article, 2018-03-04)
      Köhler et al. (2018, https://doi.org/10.1002/2017JF004375) deploy a high spatial and temporal resolution GEODAR radar system to reveal the inside of snow avalanches over the entire slope. They detect a rich variety of ...
    • Overrun length of avalanches overtopping catching dams: Cross-comparison of small-scale laboratory experiments and observations from full-scale avalanches 

      Faug, Thierry; Gauer, Peter; Lied, Karstein; Naaim, Mohamed (Journal article, 2008)
      Results from small-scale and full-scale experiments on avalanche–dam interactions are presented and compared. These experiments were analyzed with respect to the overrun length (i.e., the distance that the avalanche traveled ...
