Louis S. Green (avalanche researcher)

Louis S. Green is a researcher known for his work on snow avalanches. He studies how and why avalanches occur, focusing on factors like snowpack conditions, weather patterns, and terrain. His research aims to better predict avalanches, improve safety for winter outdoor activities, and inform avalanche prevention and mitigation strategies. By analyzing how snow moves and accumulates, Green helps develop models that forecast avalanche risk, ultimately aiming to protect people and infrastructure in snowy, mountainous regions.
