    University essay from Uppsala universitet/Luft-, vatten- och landskapslära

    Author : Michael Lonardi; [2018]
    Keywords : Longyeardalen; wind channeling; snow transport;

    Abstract : Due to climate change and arctic amplification, the avalanche activity is expected to increase at higher latitudes (Hall et al., 1994).
