ISSW special edition EP7 - How does a changing climate impact avalanche hazard?

Our climate is changing and this means that the avalanches will change. Many of our models are built around cold snow avalanches, but in a warming climate we need to update our understanding of how warmer and wetter avalanches will change the avalanche risk. Michael Kohler is a PhD Student at SLF Davos/EPFL studying avalanche-obstacle interaction. While others rely on explosives, he trigger avalanches with just a few lines of code using a numerical simulations But he is not always jus...
