    • Avalanche decision-making frameworks: Classification and description of underlying factors 

      Landrø, Markus; Pfuhl, Gerit; Engeset, Rune; Jackson, Miriam; Hetland, Audun (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2019-10-17)
      Snow avalanches are a complex phenomenon and correctly assessing avalanche danger is crucial in order to avoid accidents. To aid the decision-making process, different decision-making frameworks (DMFs) have been developed. However, each DMF assesses different factors. We identified 44 factors included in the ten most commonly used DMFs, supplemented by nine factors regarded as important by avalanche ...

    • Avalanche decision-making frameworks: Factors and methods used by experts 

      Landrø, Markus; Hetland, Audun; Engeset, Rune; Pfuhl, Gerit (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2019-10-31)
      The snowy mountains of the world attract more and more backcountry recreationalists. Besides beauty and joy, traveling in avalanche terrain can involve risk of injury and even death. A correct assessment of avalanche danger and following a correct decision is crucial. This requires a thorough evaluation of a range of factors. To aid these decisions several decision-making frameworks (DMF) have been ...

    • Behavior in Avalanche Terrain: An Exploratory Study of Illegal Snowmobiling in Norway 

      Michaelsen, Bjørn; Stewart-Patterson, Iain; Rolland, Carsten Gade; Hetland, Audun; Engeset, Rune Verpe (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2022-05-16)
      Snowmobilers make a grim and significant contribution to avalanche fatality statistics in Norway. However, there is limited knowledge on the behavior of this group in avalanche terrain and the factors influencing this behavior. Our study documents what snowmobilers do and not do in avalanche terrain, how their behavior relates to managing complex avalanche conditions and if there is a mismatch between ...

    • Colours and maps for communicating natural hazards to users with and without colour vision deficiency 

      Engeset, Rune Verpe; Pfuhl, Gerit; Orten, Camilla; Hendrikx, Jordy; Hetland, Audun (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2022-05-14)
      Natural hazards are often communicated visually using colours and maps. However, users' ability to read and understand these products may be hampered by e.g., colour vision deficiency, potentially rendering the products less effective or even counter effective. To study these effects, we conducted two web-based surveys and analysed how to improve visual communication of avalanches, floods, landslides, ...

    • Should I Judge Safety or Danger? Perceived Risk Depends on the Question Frame 

      Stephensen, Matthew; Schulze, Christin; Landrø, Markus; Hendrikx, Jordy; Hetland, Audun (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2020-04-29)
      Linguistic polarity is a natural characteristic of judgments: Is that situation safe/dangerous? How difficult/easy was the task? Is that politician honest/dishonest? Across six studies (<i>N</i> = 1599), we tested how the qualitative frame of the question eliciting a risk judgment influenced risk perception and behavior intention. Using a series of hypothetical scenarios of skiing in avalanche ...

    • Updating in the mountains: A sensemaking perspective on ski guiding 

      Løland, Stig; Søreide, Maria Nordbø; Hällgren, Markus; Hetland, Audun (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2023-09-22)
      For a ski guide, updating on the ever-changing natural conditions and group dynamics is essential to stay safe and provide a good experience for clients. In this paper, we explore how guides update their understanding in the mountains. Our data arise out of a one-season participant ethnography of ski guiding in Norway. The research team had two authors collecting data, one as an “outsider” and another ...
