The physics of snow slab avalanches similar to that of earthquakes

Scientists from EPFL and the WSL Institute for Snow and Avalanche Research SLF have gained deeper insight into how snow slab avalanches form, paving the way to more effective risk assessment measures...

How do small cracks turn into gigantic submarine slides? Zhang and Puzrin (2022) use numerical simulations to elucidate this transition from initial failure to subsequent growth of weakened sediment. Check out Michel Louge's highlight: fal.cn/3qq4r #AGUPubs
Diagrams and graphs showing the growth of submarine slides.

Mathieu Schaer, former @epflENAC student, professional snowboarder and #environment #engineer @meteosuisse send me this video a couple of years ago. The analysis of changes in pixel intensity frame by frame, confirmed the outcome of numerical simulations. 🎥 (c) Titouan Bessire – at Jougne, France

Numerical simulations based on the Material Point Method revealed a transition from slow (sub-Rayleigh) #anticrack to fast #supershear crack propagation. This transition may occur at distances about 3-5 meters if the slope is steep enough. – at Jougne, France
