Avalanches are sudden dramatic phenomena that occur in nature. The technique of magneto-optical imaging (MOI) has allowed us to observe abrupt flux entrances in superconductors, the so-called ux avalanches, due to ...

Snow avalanches are events often involving serious risk to human beings and goods due to their destructive power This is why effective control measures are required to mitigate the risk for human settlements, goods and ...

Neuronal avalanches measured as consecutive bouts of thresholded field potentials represent a statistical signature that the brain operates near a critical point. In theory, criticality optimizes stimulus sensitivity, ...

This paper reports from a survey of the occurrence of large avalanches in Żleb Żandarmerii. This couloir is known to be one of the most hazardous avalanche paths in the Tatra Mountains and has one of the longest histories ...

Landslides are among the most frequent and dangerous mass removal processes around the globe. They can be triggered by different phenomena such as earthquakes, extraordinary rains, glacier outbursts, volcanic activity, ...
