The Snow and Avalanche Study Establishment (SASE) is an Indian scientific organization that researches snow and avalanche phenomena, primarily in the Himalayan region. Its mission is to understand snow behavior, avalanches, and related environmental factors to enhance safety for mountaineers, travelers, and military operations. SASE develops strategies for avalanche prediction, prevention, and mitigation, using scientific methods, field studies, and technology. By providing crucial information and warnings, SASE helps protect lives, infrastructure, and activities in snow-covered mountainous areas.
