In a dry stratified snowcover slab avalanches release following failure in a weak layer below the slab. Typically, such weak layers consist either of persistent grain types or precipitation particles. Experience suggests that non-persistent instabili

An understanding of snow optical properties is vital to accurately quantifying the effect of snow cover on the Earth's radiative energy balance. Central to these models is the need for accurate bidirectional reflectance data for various snow surface

Entropy production rates derived from nonequilibrium thermodynamics are used to show that depth hoar develops from the natural progression of snow toward thermal equilibrium. Laboratory experiments were undertaken to examine the evolution of snow mic

Anisotropic materials exhibit directional properties which deviate from isotropic configurations. Radiation recrystallized snow is one such material that achieves an anisotropic structure following metamorphism from randomly structured isotropic snow

Fabric tensors quantify the directional arrangement of a granular material's microstructure. In treating snow as such they are beneficial in characterizing morphologies that exhibit a distinct directional arrangement—like chains of grains in depth
Local terrain-topography and thermal-properties influence on energy and mass balance of a snow cover

AbstarctSnow’s interaction with the environment is an important area in environmental science, particularly as climatic conditions change. We consider the local influence at the slope or smaller scale. Near-surface properties drive the dynamic inte

Buried surface hoar and near-surface faceted crystals are known to lead to deadly avalanches. Over the course of three winter seasons a field investigation detailing the environmental conditions leading to the formation of these crystals was performe

We examined sediment melt-migration dynamics in the ice cover of Lake Fryxell, Taylor Valley, McMurdo Dry Valleys, Antarctica, using a combination of laboratory experiments, field observations, and modeling. The specific objectives were to determine

Near-surface faceted crystals are often attributed as being the weak-layer in fatal slab avalanches. To gain a further understanding of these crystals Montana State University researchers collaborated with the Yellowstone Club Ski Patrol to investiga
