Description

This lecture covers the strength of weak layers in snow, including field measurements, ductile-brittle transition, and rate dependency. It also discusses the visco-elastic properties of snow, compaction bands, stability tests like compression and Rutschblock tests, and concludes with the processes leading to slab avalanche release.
