Avalanche Hazard Risk Assessment For Alpine Case Study

ENVIDAT provides simulation outputs and geodata for a large-scale snow avalanche risk assessment in alpine regions. The data supports the Climada Avalanche risk model and is associated with a 2022 case study by Ortner et al. The dataset was last updated in January 2023.

Use Cases

• Validate the Climada Avalanche risk model using provided simulation output files.
• Analyze exposure data within the geodataframe for the specified case study region.
• Compare artificial RAMMS avalanche simulation results with potential release file data.

Strengths

• Data is linked to a published 2022 case study (Ortner et al.), providing academic context.
• Includes all necessary files to run the Climada Avalanche risk model, ensuring reproducibility.

Limitations

• The specific row count, column names, and dataset size are unknown.
• Geographic coverage is limited to the single case study region referenced in the 2022 paper.
