In the rapidly evolving mountain cryosphere, snow avalanches threaten livelihoods,
settlements and infrastructure. In this Review, we analyse past and projected impacts of …

Snow avalanches can destroy lives and infrastructure and are very important phenomena in
some regions of the world. This study maps snow avalanche susceptibility in Sirvan …

Standard engineering procedures, such as adopting high return periods as reference
events, are a simplified means of handling the complex and multivariate nature of snow …

Determining avalanche activity corresponding to given snow and meteorological conditions
is an old problem of high practical relevance. To address it, numerous statistical forecasting …

We present an analysis of temporal trends in∼ 55 000 avalanches recorded between 1946
and 2010 in the French Alps and two north/south subregions. First, Bayesian hierarchical …

Based on a previous township-scale model, a spatio-temporal framework is proposed to
study the fluctuations of avalanche occurrence possibly resulting from climate change. The …

Snow avalanche activity is controlled to a large extent by snow and weather patterns.
However, its response to climate fluctuations remains poorly documented. Previous studies …

Remarkable episodes of avalanche events, so-called snow avalanche cycles, are recurring
threats to people and infrastructures in mountainous areas. This study focuses on the hazard …

Data-driven methods are commonly applied in avalanche hazard evaluation. However, few
studies have tapped into the relationship between the explanatory variables and avalanche …

Snow avalanches are natural hazards strongly controlled by the mountain winter climate, but
their recent response to climate change has thus far been poorly documented. In this paper …
