John Dalrymple (avalanche researcher)

John Dalrymple was an avalanche researcher known for his work in understanding snowpack behavior and avalanche dynamics. His research contributed to improved safety practices for winter sports and mountain communities by analyzing how snow layers bond and how avalanches initiate and propagate. Dalrymple's approach combined field observations, scientific analysis, and modeling to better predict avalanche risks, ultimately enhancing terrain management and rescue strategies. His work has been influential in the field of avalanche science, helping to reduce accidents and save lives in avalanche-prone regions.
