Skredpodden

Da er vi i gang med nok en sesong med skredpodden. Neste uke arrangeres det skredseminarer fra Longyearbyen i nord til Kristiansand i sør. Her kan du blant annet se filmen Remote lines 2.0.
I denne episoden diskuterer vi filmen og beslutningstaking i skredterreng med filmskaper og skredinstruktør Markus Aase.
Filmen har premiere på skredkveldene. Og her finner du et skredkveld nær deg
Om du vil se trailer av filmen så finner du den her

Medvirkende: Markus Aase

Communicating avalanche risk is sentral to keep people well informed and out of harms way. But it is by no means easy. 
How can we do that effectively and where does the future lead with all the new technology which is developed.
In this final episode on the ISSW special edition podcast we discuss this with Scott Savage director for the Sawtooth Avalanche Center, Andrea Mannberg, professor and co-leader of CARE (Center for Avalanche Research and Education) at UiT The Arctic University of Norway and Eva Latsuo Eeva, Associate Professor of Outdoor Studies, Alaska Pacific University & Senior Avalanche Educator, Alaska Avalanche School

Participating: Scott Savage, Andrea Mannberg and Eva Latsuo
Host: Audun Hetland.

ISSW is a melting pot and a meeting place where scientist and practitioners meet. In this talk we discuss how science transform into practise. Grant Statham works for parks Canada and is in may ways the founding father of the modern avalanche warning service. In the studio we also have HP Marshall from Boisie state university. He is an associate professor and use a range of methods to try to understand the physics of snow. This include methods like microwave radar, remote sensing of snow and ice, glaciology, snow stability modeling, avalanche detection, spatial variability of snow, calibration and validation of remote sensing of snow, high-resolution snow measurement techniques.

So how does all of what we learn in science transfer into practise that is usefull for practitioners to fundamentally keep us all safe. 

Participating: Grant Statham and Hans-Petter Marshall

In this episode we discuss what we have learned on the second day at the ISSW. We discuss avalanche dynamics, remote sensing and snow science. 


Participating: Jan-Thomas Fischer, Ingrid Reiweger and Yves Buhler

ISSW - the worlds larges conference on snow and avalanche was hosted in Tromsø 23-27th of September. Every afternoon we sat down with senior figures to discuss what we have learned and what that means for us. 

Monday the 23rd Jürg schweizer, Doug Chabot and Christoph Mitterer. 
We discussed  how the avalanche field has changed, what has had the largest impact, the role of technology and why avalanche accidents receive so much attention - and a lot of other things. 

Host: Audun Hetland
Guests: Jürg schweizer, Doug Chabot and Christoph Mitterer.

9 out of 10 fatal avalanche accidents are triggered by the victim or someone in their party. This means, like Roger Atkins pointed out more than 20 years ago, that avalanche is a human problem, not a snow problem. 
One of the ways to remedy this is by education. But does it work?

Kelly McNeal is a professor in community health and also an avalanche instructor. 
She presents insights from a survey study on avalnche education and an trend study of avalanche accidents.

Our climate is changing, that we know. What we do not fully know is how that will impact avalanche hazards around the world - and how the hazard may increase the avalanche risk.

We are delighted to welcome everyone to Tromsø.
In this podcast we go through the program of the conference, what you can expect and what we recommend while you are here.

How has technology changed the way we mitigate avalanche risk? A talk with Wyssen avalanche control and Cautus geo, the two main sponsors for the ISSW2024.

27% of Norwegian roads go through avalanche terrain. Previously the norwegian solution was to build tunnels. But you can only build so many. The past decade a leap in technology and also prevention systems often used in other contries has become popular in Norway. 

In this podcast we talk with Wyssen avalanche control and cautusgeo, the two main sponsors for the ISSW. We ask them what the future looks like in avalanche prevention terms.

Our climate is changing and this means that the avalanches will change. Many of our models are built around cold snow avalanches, but in a warming climate we need to update our understanding of how warmer and wetter avalanches will change the avalanche risk.

Michael Kohler is a PhD Student at SLF Davos/EPFL studying avalanche-obstacle interaction. While others rely on explosives, he trigger avalanches with just a few lines of code using a numerical simulations  But he is not always just behind the screen. Sometimes you can also find him at the full-scale avalanche test site at Vallée de la Sionne.
