    • Basal shear and normal stresses of dry and wet snow avalanches after a slope deviation 

      Platzer, K.; Bartelt, P.; Jaedicke, Christian (Journal article, 2007)
      Basal shear and normal force measurements of dry and wet snow avalanches and slush flows from the Weissfluhjoch snow chute are presented. This chute contains two slope angle transitions in order to measure the effect of ...

    • Chute experiments on slushflow dynamics. 

      Jaedicke, Christian; Kern, M.A.; Gauer, Peter; Baillifard, M.-A.; Platzer, K. (Journal article, 2008)
      Slushflows are gravity driven mass flows consisting of a mixture of snow and water, which exhibit considerable damage potential for endangered areas. An increase in global temperature and winter rain precipitation could ...

    • The differentiation of thaws in connection with slushflow occurrences. 

      Chernouss, Pavel; Tyapkina, Olga; Hestnes, Erik; Bakkehøi, Steinar (NGI Publication;203, Chapter, 1998)
      Classification of meteorological conditions accompanying slushflow occurrences is attempted. Days with mean daily air temperature above O°C have been chosen for the analysis. Each day has been described with a set of ...

    • Slush-flow questionnaire. 

      Onesti, Lawrence J.; Hestnes, Erik (Journal article, 1989)
      Questionnaires concerning slush flows were distributed globally. The purpose of the questionnaire was to determine the geographic distribution of slush-flow activity and also to collect information concerning the most ...

    • Slushflow Formation, Flow Regimes and Consequences (Short Version) 

      Hestnes, Erik; Bakkehøi, Steinar; Kristensen, Krister (The International Snow Science Workshop (ISSW) Proceedings;, Chapter, 2012)
      The term ‘slushflow’ was introduced by Washburn and Goldthwait (1958). Eight people perished in slushflows during the winters 2010 and 2011 in Norway, five in backcountry, two in their home and one truck-driver. Buildings, ...

    • Slushflow hazard - where, why and when? 25 years of experience with slushflow consulting and research. 

      Hestnes, Erik (Journal article, 1998)
      Slushflows — flowing mixtures of water and snow — are a major natural hazard in Norway. Knowledge gathered by the Norwegian Geotechnical Institute during 25 years of slushflow consulting and research is presented. The ...

    • Slushflow hazard control. A review of mitigative measures. 

      Hestnes, Erik; Sandersen, Frode (NGI Publication;203, Chapter, 1998)
      Slushflow hazard detection and control are based on both active and passive mitigative measures performed above and within the starting zones as well as along the path and in the runout zone. The main aim of preventive ...

    • Weather and snowpack conditions essential to slushflow release and downslope propagation 

      Hestnes, Erik; Bakkehøi, Steinar; Sandersen, Frode (The International Snow Science Workshop (ISSW) Proceedings;, Chapter, 1994)
      Rapid mass movement of water-saturated snow, usually known as slushflow or slush avalanche, is a major natural hazard in Norway. Slushflows occur in winter during heavy rainfall, as well as due to intense thaw in spring. ...
