Transient wave activity in snow avalanches is controlled by entrainment and topography

Abstract Waves are omnipresent in avalanches on Earth and other planets. The dynamic nature of waves makes them dangerous in geological hazards such as debris flows, turbidity currents, lava flows, and snow avalanches. Extensive research on granular waves has been carried out by using theoretical an...
