Extreme avalanche runout in space and time / D.M. McClung.
Title: | Extreme avalanche runout in space and time / D.M. McClung. |
Author(s): | McClung, D. M. |
Date: | 2000. |
In: | Canadian Geotechnical Journal. (2000.), Vol. 37(1) (2000) |
Abstract: | Considers distribution of avalanche runout variation on assumption that spatial distribution of extreme avalanche runout follows Gumbel distribution and arrival rate of avalanches can be modelled as Poisson process. Estimated Gumbel parameters imply consistent relationships for expected avalanche frequency and terrain from one mountain range to another. |
Notes: | Canadian Geotechnical Journal. Vol. 37(1) :161-170 (2000). French summary. |
