• Calculation of snow avalanche runout distance. 

      Bakkehøi, Steinar; Domaas, Ulrik; Lied, Karstein (Journal article, 1983)
      Evaluation of the maximum runout distance of snow avalanches is one of the most important problems in avalanche zoning. It is also one of the most difficult and controversial subjects in avalanche research. This is especially ...
    • Significance of historical records for avalanche hazard zoning in Norway 

      Kristensen, Krister; Harbitz, Carl Bonnevie; Harbitz, Alf (The International Snow Science Workshop (ISSW) Proceedings;, Chapter, 2000)
      In avalanche hazard zoning, it is common practice to investigate the previous avalanche history for the area considered. Historical observations of avalanches serve as an aid in the classification of the terrain, and may ...
    • Statistical and geometrical definition of snow avalanche runout 

      Martinelli, M. Jr.; McClung, D.M.; Lied, Karstein (Journal article, 1987)
      Two mathematical models for calculating the extreme avalanche runout from a fixed reference point on the path are presented and contrasted. The models are: (1) estimates of confidence limits on regression analyses of ...
