From field observations, dry snow slab avalanche initiation is associated with fracture within relatively thin weak layers under stronger, cohesive slabs. For risk-based avalanche prediction, it is important to understand the fracture properties of a

Field observations and measurements show that dry snow slab avalanches initiate by propagating shear fractures within a relatively thin weak layer sandwiched between a planar, stronger, thicker slab above and stronger material below. After initiation

Release of dry snow slab avalanches starts with shear failure within a thin weak layer beneath a stronger, cohesive slab. The propagating fracture is within the weak layer as mode II. The fundamental fracture properties include the weak layer critica

Overall results comparing field observations and Crocus simulations during the winters 1993–94 and 1994–95 in two different climate zones are presented. We present information on: snow depth, snow-temperature profiles, density profiles, liquid-wa

The frequency of avalanches at a given location is the primary variable for calculating the risk as input to zoning applications and decisions about avalanche-control options. In this paper, we present an in-depth study of avalanche frequency using a

The prediction of run-up and run-out of dry-flowing avalanches is very important for land-use planning, design of run-out zone defenses and construction of risk maps in avalanche terrain. In this paper, we present a numerical dynamics model to predic

A numerical avalanche-prediction scheme was developed for highway applications at Kootenay Pass, British Columbia. The model features parametric discriminant analysis using Bayesian statistics to predict avalanche occurrences. Cluster techniques are
