MARC recordSnow avalanche runout from two Canadian mountain ranges / D.J. Nixon, David M. McClung.
| Title: | Snow avalanche runout from two Canadian mountain ranges / D.J. Nixon, David M. McClung. |
| Author(s): | Nixon, D. J. McClung, David M. |
| Date: | 1993. |
| In: | Annals of Glaciology. (1993.), Vol. 18 (1993) |
| Abstract: | Field measurements on maximum runout from Coast Mountains in British Columbia and Rocky Mountains are presented and compared. Includes statistical analysis of topographic terrain parameters such as starting-zone catchment area, horizontal reach, vertical drop, and relevant slope angles. Two models of prediction are examined: least squares regression of topographic parameters and runout ratios fitted to Gumbel distribution. |
| Notes: | Annals of Glaciology. Vol. 18 :1-6 (1993). |
