A proposal for avalanche susceptibility mapping in the Pyrenees using GIS: the Formigal-Peyreget area (Sheet 145-I; scale 1:25.000)

Abstract: The aim of this work is to show a proposal for avalanche susceptibility mapping (scale 1:25.000) using Geographic Information Systems (GIS). The map to which the article accompanies (Formigal; Sheet 145-I) follows strictly the dimensions of the Spanish Topographic Cartography series at scale 1:25.000. The Formigal-Peyreget area, located in the Central Spanish and French Pyrenees, is one of the Pyrenean regions where avalanche risk is more noticeable. The methodology involves the use of GIS to model avalanche s… Show more

The other algorithms apply Boolean classifiers and thus these outputs exhibit the two discrete classes 0 (NoPRA) and 1 (PRA).…”

“…The majority of snow avalanche activity in Spain takes place in the northern mountain ranges, such as the Pyrenees (e.g. Chueca & Julián, 2004Chueca, Julián, & Montañés, 2014;Furdada, 1996;Furdada & Vilaplana, 1998;Julián & Chueca, 1999;Julián et al, 2000) and Cantabrian ranges (e.g. Beato Bergua, Poblete Piedrabuena, & Marino Alfonso, 2018;González, Vega, Villar, & Gutiérrez, 2010;Vada, Frochoso, & Vilaplana, 2012).…”

“…En España la mayor parte de la investigación dirigida al estudio de la diná-mica de aludes se ha centrado en los Pirineos (MUÑOZ TRIGO, 1988;SAÉZ ALAGÓN, 1993, 1995FURDADA, 1996;FURDADA y VILAPLANA, 1998;JULIÁN y CHUECA, 1999;JULIÁN et al, 2000;CHUECA y JULIÁN, 2004;PALOMO, 2007;PALOMO, 2008;CHUECA y JULIÁN, 2010;CHUECA et al, 2014). Fuera de los Pirineos, el número de trabajos científicos dirigidos al estudio de las avalanchas de nieve se reduce de manera considerable, siendo posible encontrar artículos dedicados a la Cordillera Cantábrica (Santos GONZÁLEZ et al, 2010) y Picos de Europa (VADA et al, 2012).…”
