In the Prince William Sound region of Alaska, recent glacier retreat started in the mid-1800s and began to accelerate in the mid-2000s in response to warming air temperatures (Maraldo and others,...
-
Glacial retreat and mountain-permafrost degradation resulting from rising global temperatures have the potential to impact the frequency and magnitude of landslides in glaciated environments. In...
-
On May 25, 2014, a rain-on-snow induced rock avalanche occurred in the West Salt Creek Valley on the northern flank of Grand Mesa in western Colorado. The avalanche mobilized from a preexisting...
-
The use of high-resolution remotely sensed imagery can be an effective way to obtain quantitative measurements of rock-avalanche volumes and geometries in remote glaciated areas, both of which are...

This dataset includes processed tree ring data from avalanche paths in Glacier National Park and the Flathead National Forest in northwest Montana. The data were processed in three distinct phases...
-
The lateral blast, debris avalanche, pyroclastic flows, and lahars of the May 18th, 1980, eruption of Mount St. Helens, Washington, dramatically altered the surrounding landscape. The debris...

This is a once-over landslide inventory of the Tongass National Forest. This inventory includes all mass wasting features, including talus slopes, snow avalanche fields, and snow avalanche chutes....
-
On May 18, 1980, Mount St. Helens, Washington, exploded in a spectacular and devastating eruption that resulted in previously unimaginable events that drastically altered the mountain and the...
-
This is the point feature class for the once-over landslide inventory of the Tongass National Forest. Most of the landslide polygons were digitized on the 1998 to 2010 orthophotos in GIS. Many of...
-
Primary rock glaciers are fed by avalanche chutes. At the El Salto rock glacier, surveys have been undertaken in order to determine the creep rate. Between 1981 and 1986 temperatures at elevations...
-
Volcanic mass flows, especially lahars and pyroclastic density currents (PDCs) are among the most destructive volcanic hazards due to their speed, mobility, and the often-unexpected behavior these...
