A message from the people of #davos to their prominent visitor(s). Visible from the entire town, soon viral on the internet... #wef #trump #nokings

How do avalanches affect pylons and other sensitive #infrastructure? Using detailed #simulations, #SLF researcher @mjkohler.bsky.social shows that the compressibility of #snow initially reduces #avalanche pressure, but that at high speeds this buffer suddenly fails.

ISSW special edition EP7 - How does a changing climate impact avalanche hazard? - Skredpodden Our climate is changing and this means that the avalanches will change. Many of our models are built around cold snow avalanches, but in a warming climate we need to update our understanding of how wa...

Supershear crack propagation in snow slab avalanche release: new insights from numerical simulations and field measurements Abstract. The release process of dry-snow slab avalanches begins with a localized failure within a porous, weak snow layer that lies beneath a cohesive slab. Subsequently, rapid crack propagation may ...

Have you ever wondered how #crack #propagation in weak snow layers influences the size of the release area of #slab #avalanches? If yes, you might wanna check out this preprint paper by my colleagues: nhess.copernicus.org/preprints/nh... 1/2
