| Abstract: | This paper explores applications of digital photogrammetric modeling of mountainous terrain in forecasting snow depth and the meltwater avalanche hazard in a mining region of northwestern Russia. A series of initial maps (initial terrain points, relief of snow-flow centers, slope angles and orientations) provides successively more specific information, culminating in the compilation of a map of maximum snow cover depths at a center of water-saturated snow flows (representative reference site) on the northern slope of Mt. Aykuayvenchorr. Translated by Edward Torrey, Alexandria, VA 22308 from: Geomorfologiya, 1993, No. 3, pp. 75-83. |
