    Using modern GIS tools to reconstruct the avalanche: A case study of Magurka 1970

  • Original language description

    A huge avalanche released on 14 March 1970 from the saddleback of Ďurková below the Low Tatras mountain ridge, which ran down through the whole valley and stopped close to the settlement of Magurka. The length and height of the avalanche path was enormous reaching 2,2 km and 22 meters high respectively. Taking other parameters into consideration (the length of the avalanche, the height of the avalanche release zone, total volume of snow) it can be categorised among the greatest avalanches ever observedin Slovakia. The major causes for such a big avalanche were unfavourable long-lasting snow and weather conditions. However, the starting mechanism was, as in most cases, a man. RAMMS model was used for avalanche reconstruction. It allows modelling the height of avalanche deposition, the speed of an avalanche flow and also the maximum pressure that was reached.
