Avalanche Bibliography - Technical
This bibliography is based on the references in my M.Sc. thesis in
Physics, which was completed in 1990. The papers listed here are of
a wide variety, from broad review papers to papers on specific topics
within the field of snow avalanches. Some are papers which provide mathematical
and/or scientific methods or framework which is useful but may be indirectly
relevant.
One way to find more recent papers on similar topics is to search for publications which cite the works listed here.
