Denna studie behandlar den komplexa karaktären hos snölaviner och hur de kan förutsägas, och därmed undvikas, vid navigering genom fjällterräng under vinteraktiviteter. Risken för laviner i skidområdet Nuolja, i norra Sverige, utvärderades genom en experimentell tillämpning av The Avalanche Terrain Exposure Scale (ATES) som är en modell utvecklad för planering och bedömning av lavinexponering. ModThis study addresses the complex nature of snow avalanches and how their location can be predicted, and thus avoided, when navigating through mountainous terrain during winter recreations.

This is a topic which has been widely explored. However, the impact of the dust grain sizes on the underlying disk structure has not yet been as extensively modeled. Differe
