A regional study of snow avalanche processes was undertaken in the SE Pyrenees.
Dendrogeomorphology was used to date and reconstruct large-scale snow avalanche …

The Pyrenees is a mountain range that presents a very broad range of climatic diversity, as
well as a multitude of geographical factors conditioning precipitation in this region. In-depth …

Major avalanche episodes registered in the Eastern Pyrenees (north-eastern Iberian
Peninsula) are correlated with both the North Atlantic Oscillation (NAO) and the Western …

The occurrence of major avalanche episodes in the Eastern Pyrenees (NE Spain) is
estimated by means of the Poisson and the negative binomial distributions, assuming that …

Knowledge of spatial precipitation amounts associated with the most frequent circulation
types during the winter season (November-May) is essential with regard to developing …

With the aim of better understanding avalanche risk in the Catalan Pyrenees, the present
work focuses on the analysis of major (or destructive) avalanches. For such purpose major …

A variation in the α− β model which is a regression model that allows a deterministic
prediction of the extreme runout to be expected in a given path, was applied for calculating …

On 8th February 1996, in the north-western part of Andorra in the Pyrenees, the Les Fonts
d'Arinsal (LFd'A) pure powder avalanche was triggered, descending some 1200 m to the …

The two friction parameters used in the numerical avalanche dynamics program AVAL-1D,
were calibrated empirically with data from observed avalanches in the Swiss Alps. The …

[eng] In recent decades, information about past snow avalanches in the Pyrenees is being
acquired by searching in different sources. One of these sources are tree rings. In this Ph. D …
