ISBN10: 0198866933, ISBN13: 9780198866930, [publisher: Oxford University Press, Oxford] Hardcover Hardcover. This book provides a critical update of the most recent and innovative developments of avalanche science. It aims at re-founding avalanche science on clear scientific bases, from field observations and experiments up to mathematical and physical analysis and modeling. In this respect, it stands in a still unoccupied but fundamental niche amidst the abundant avalanche literature.In the current context of a accelerated climate warming, the bookalso discusses possible evolutions of snow cover extent and stability. It also shows how the present analysis can be extended, in mountainous areas, to other gravitationally induced phenomena that arelikely to take over from avalanches under specific circumstances.The text is supported by online links to field experiments and lectures on triggering mechanisms, risk management, and decision making. An avalanche may be defined as the destabilization and flow of part of the snow cover. The book essentially deals with the former, focusing on avalanche triggering mechanisms. Avalanche triggering mechanisms have been debated for a long time. The book provides the reader with a re-foundation on clear scientific bases. Shipping may be from multiple locations in the US or from the UK, depending on stock availability.
