The morphology of avalanche paths
Krause, David ; Křížek, Marek (advisor) ; Treml, Václav (referee)
An avalanche path is a landform, that is being modeled by surface snow avalanches, debris flows and other slope processes. It consists of starting zone, track and runout zone. The submitted bachelor thesis is concerned with the characteristics of avalanche paths used in literature and generates their classification. The morphometric GIS analysis is performed in the Eastern High Sudetes. The measured vlaues of 16 avalanche paths from 6 sites are statistically processed and compared. The Sudetic paths are shorter but they have similar slope in comparison with paths in alpine environment. The spatial distribution of avalanche paths is bound to lee parts of the anemo-orographic systems. The aspect is predominantly southeastern, the slope is between 20 and 30ř and the length is usually between 200 and 400 m. The path lenght depends inversely on the slope of the starting zone. There is also a relation between the avalanche path morphology and the area of alpine tundra on the etchplain above the timberline, from where the snow is being blowed to the starting zones. Key words: snow avalanche, morphometry, Eastern High Sudetes, Altvatergebirge, Glatzer Schneeberg

Snow avalanche modelling
Racek, Ondřej ; Blahůt, Jan (advisor) ; Uxa, Tomáš (referee)
Modelling of dynamic processes in physical geography is really quickly developing discipline. This trend is noticeable in case of snow avalanche modelling too. Following bachelor thesis is mapping snow avalanche modells and describes theirs basic principes. In the aplication part is thesis focused on use RAMMS numerical avalanche model. Experimentally verifies suitabiliti of friction coeficients for use in condicions prevailing in the Giant Mountains (Krkonoše). Friction coeficients was experimentaly stated in the Swiss Alps and tabooed in user manual. Results of RAMMS avalanche model are based on a combinaton of 36 values of friction coeficients. These results of numerical models are compared with real avalanche from 10. 2. 2015. Between real avalanche and modeled avalanche is compared run- out and area of acumulation. Friction coeficients asumed in Swiss Alps can be used for modelling avalanches in Giant Mountains. For correct dessignation of friction parameters is appropriately use run out. Results of modells strongly overvalue area of acumulation. Abstrakt Modelování fyzickogeografických procesů je dynamicky rozvíjející se obor, tudíž stejný trend sledujeme v případě modelování sněhových lavin. Tato bakalářská práce modely sněhových lavin mapuje a popisuje jejich základní principy. V aplikační...
