Jan. 19, 2022 Computer simulations of snow cover can accurately forecast avalanche hazard, according to a new international study. Currently, avalanche forecasts in Canada are made by experienced professionals who ...
May 26, 2021 Researchers hope industry and governments worldwide will use the SSSAFE model to help early warning systems mitigate landslide ...
Feb. 2, 2022 Researchers found that the occurrence of red snow algal blooms is associated with the occurrence of new snowfall and the duration of snow melt. A revised snow algae model incorporated into a land ...
June 28, 2021 A team of scientists has developed a new model for simulating both iceberg calving and the tsunamis that are triggered as a result. Their method can help improve hazard assessment in coastal areas ...
Nov. 23, 2021 Roofs collapsing under heavy snow, mini-avalanches in cities, and flash floods are just some of the winter headaches that could be resolved if there were a better way to track snow cover. With that ...
Apr. 16, 2021 Snow cover in the Alps has been melting almost three days earlier per decade since the 1960s. This trend is temperature-related and cannot be compensated by heavier snowfall. By the end of the ...
June 17, 2021 The glaciers of Nanga Parbat - one of the highest mountains in the world - have been shrinking slightly but continually since the 1930s. This loss in surface area is evidenced by a long-term study. ...
Sep. 12, 2023 Research found that, in some western states, the amount of snow already on the ground by the end of December is a good predictor of how much total snow that area will ...
Aug. 17, 2022 Comprehensive data from several seasons of field research in the Alaskan Arctic will address uncertainties in Earth-system and climate-change models about snow cover across the region and its impacts ...
May 17, 2021 A reduction in the amount of fresh, light-colored snow in parts of Greenland is exposing older, darker snow. The research reports on new weather patterns and explains how the changing shape of ...
