    • 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, ...

    • The role of avalanche education in assessing and judging avalanche risk factors 

      Landrø, Markus; Engeset, Rune Verpe; Pfuhl, Gerit (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2022-07-07)
      Avalanche decision-making falls into two general categories; probabilistic approaches and analytical approaches. Analytical approaches have traditionally been considered applicable to experts only, as they require assessing risk factors precisely and understanding their relevance in each situation. In this study we question this assumption. We asked 1,220 amateur backcountry recreationalists how ...
