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. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eIn the current context of a accelerated climate warming, the book also 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 are likely to take over from avalanches under specific circumstances. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eThe text is supported by online links to field experiments and lectures on triggering mechanisms, risk management, and decision making.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Francois Louchet\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0198866933\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780198866930\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Oxford University Press, USA\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 02\/18\/2021\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 98\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.75lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.80h x 6.70w x 0.50d","brand":"Francois Louchet","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":44761362628863,"sku":"9780198866930","price":62.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_169bf023-26d5-4eb9-b0b7-f40d34c2ad47.jpg?v=1706681116","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/snow-avalanches-francois-louchet-9780198866930","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
