Avalanche Hazard Mapping along Manali-patsio Road Axis (Himachal Pradesh, India) Using Advanced Geo-Informatics Techniques
Abstract: Avalanche occurrence is quite a hazardous and unpredictable natural phenomenon. A large number of factors that are associated with its occurrence make it quite difficult to assess hazard in hilly areas. There are two main groups of variables that define the avalanche hazard – meteorological conditions and terrain characteristics. Due to the stable nature along the time, terrain parameters are easier to map. The purpose of this work is to …
