In regard to the movement and effect of snow avalanches emphasis is placed on avalanche activity monitoring, flow dynamics, experimental techniques and practical application of numerical models to predict avalanche run-out distances, flow velocities, interaction with structures and impact pressures for hazard assessment and mitigation. The session aims at improving our understanding of the formation process and the movement of avalanches to foster the application to avalanche forecasting as well as to risk management. |
