The Worst Avalanches of All Time
"Describes the worst avalanches in history, as well as causes, types, and disaster tips"--
Avalanche Dynamics
Avalanches, mudflows and landslides are common and natural phenomena that occur in mountainous regions. With an emphasis on snow avalanches, this book provides a survey and discussion about the motion of avalanche-like flows from initiation to run out. An important aspect of this book is the formulation and investigation of a simple but appropriate continuum mechanical model for the realistic prediction of geophysical flows of granular material.
Snow Avalanches
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.
The Science of an Avalanche
This book discusses the science behind avalanches and their effects. The chapters explore case studies of avalanches, identify environmental factors that cause these disasters, and explain how experts prevent avalanches. Diagrams, charts, and photos provide opportunities to evaluate and understand the scientific concepts involved.
Avalanches and Snow Safety
Up-dated edition of "The Avalanche enigma". London, John Murray, 1966.
Landslides and Avalanches
When landslides and avalanches happen, they leave a trail of destruction in their paths. Readers get a front row seat to these natural disasters and learn how they affect wildlife, plant life, and humans. Essential earth science topics are made accessible through this engaging and educational look at two natural disasters that can drastically change the way the earth looks. Intense, full-color photographs add a thrilling element to this exploration of earth science, and informative fact boxes and helpful diagrams are also included to deepen readers' understanding of dangerous landslides and avalanches.
Avalanches
Do you know what an avalanche is? How they start? What avalanche safety tips help save lives? Read this book to discover the answers.
Avalanches
Discusses the nature, causes, and dangers of avalanches, avalanches of the past, and ways to survive.
The World's Worst Avalanches
An earthquake shakes a snow-covered mountain. The fresh snow slides down. It's an avalanche!
Staying Alive in Avalanche Terrain
Winter recreation in the mountains has increased steadily over the past few years, and so has the number of deaths and injuries caused by avalanches. Staying Alive in Avalanche Terrain covers everything you need to know to avoid trouble in avalanche terrain: what avalanches are and how they work, common myths, human activities that lead to avalanche trouble, what happens to victims when an avalanche occurs, and rescue techniques. Provides step- by-step instruction for determining avalanche hazards, using safe travel technique, and making effective rescues.
