The science behind one of the deadliest avalanche seasons ever
Показать описание
With 36 deaths in the United States, the 2020-21 avalanche season has been the deadliest in modern history, according to data from the Colorado Avalanche Information Center (CAIC).
Colorado records about 4,000 to 5,000 avalanches each year. This season in the state, 12 people died in avalanches—double the number that perished last season.
What causes especially deadly avalanche seasons like this one? Does climate change have an outsize role? Rocky Mountain PBS spoke with scientists and avalanche experts across North America to find answers, and determine what can be done to prevent seasons like this in the future.
As CAIC Director Dr. Ethan Greene tells us, anyone who goes into the backcountry must be prepared if they find themselves in one of these disasters. “A little education can save your life,” he says.
