Abstract:
... Shallow landslides (SLs) are rapid soil mass movements, typically occurring in the mountain areas, involving the most superficial soil layers up to 5 to 10 m in depth. Damages, and casualties due to shallow landslides are recorded globally, and in literature a variety of models to study landslides have been implemented hitherto. Often times, shallow landslides occur in the wake of snowfall events, ...

Abstract:
... Snow drift which usually occurs in conjunction with snowfall can significantly alter the distribution pattern of snow cover around roads creating travel hazards for vehicles. To study the snow distribution around a road and evaluate the snow prevention efficiency of snow fence, based on the theories of two-phase flow and snowdrift erosion and deposition, a numerical model is developed. The model i ...

Abstract:
... Multiple satellite products are available to monitor the spatiotemporal dynamics of surface albedo. They are extensively assessed over snow-free surfaces but less over snow. However, snow albedo is critical for climate monitoring applications, so a better understating of the accuracy of these products over snow is needed.
