Published purpose

The University de Sherbrooke project aims to provide tools that decrease the uncertainty (and associated increased risk) related to remote call outs and increased melt freeze crusts and rain on snow events. Increasing the toolkit for avalanche risk assessment in light of these factors benefits all Canadians in avalanche affected areas, especially SAR responders who are called out under urgent conditions.
