Experiments with remote sensing in the context of avalanche warning and detection

Abstract

Two Norwegian projects carried out by NGI and NR have investigated and experimented with the potential of using remote sensing for avalanche warning and detection: The Norwegian Space Centre (NSC) supported project “Improved Avalanche Warning Using Satellite Data” (2008-2010) and the European Space Agency (ESA) funded project “Avalanche Inventory for Decision Support and Hind-cast - AvalRS” (2008–2011).
