European Avalanche Research

European Avalanche Research involves studying snow stability, weather patterns, and terrain to better understand how and why avalanches occur. Researchers use fieldwork, experiments, and technology to analyze snowpack conditions and predict avalanche risks. This knowledge helps improve safety measures, inform infrastructure planning, and develop warning systems for winter sports areas and mountain communities. By collaborating across countries, European scientists aim to reduce avalanche-related accidents and enhance sustainable management of mountain environments.
