Deciphering boulder mobility and erosion from cosmogenic nuclide exposure dating
[1] Large boulders are prominent features in many geomorphic systems and are frequently targeted for cosmogenic exposure dating. Presently, there are little data or theory predicting exposure age, erosion rate, and mobilization frequency of boulders in environments such as channels, talus slopes, or moraines. Here we explore the potential for cosmogenic isotope analysis to constrain the transpo...
متن کاملAvalanche dynamics in evolution, growth, and depinning models.
In a recent paper Paczuski, Maslov and Bak present a comprehensive theory of avalanche dynamics in models of growth, interface depinning and evolution. One of their main results is the so-called gamma equation, which is claimed to be exact. In this note it is shown that this equation requires a numerical correction factor in order to become exact. The exactness is needed when using the equation...
متن کاملComputational snow avalanche simulation in forested terrain
Two-dimensional avalanche simulation software operating in three-dimensional terrain is widely used for hazard zoning and engineering to predict runout distances and impact pressures of snow avalanche events. Mountain forests are an effective biological protection measure against avalanches; however, the protective capacity of forests to decelerate or even to stop avalanches that start within f...
متن کاملGIS-aided avalanche warning in Norway
By 2008 detailed avalanche warning for the entire Norway is not available. The Norwegian Meteorological Institute only issues a general warning for large regions of the country for danger level 4 or 5, mainly based on automatic indexes integrated in the meteorological forecasting models. Regional and local avalanche warning are issued by the NGI on request of customers such as the railway or ro...
متن کاملExposure Age Dating of Strath Terraces in the Danube Bend
Detailed description of the geology, topography and terraces of the Danube Bend was presented in Chapter 3. “Traditional” terrace ages concerning this area were derived from “relevant” data of the neighbouring valley sections, as lack of datable material prevented the Danube Bend terraces from setting up a more reliable chronological frame. Application of a new dating method was necessary to qu...
