Georadar

In the search for weak layers within the snowpack, Salzburg-based GEORESEARCH GmbH and Tyrolean company Lo.La Peak Solutions GmbH are testing a new method for recording snowpack stratigraphy as part of the STRATIFY research project. In contrast to conventional snow profiles, the data is recorded from the air, more precisely by drone and GPR (Ground Penetrating Radar).

Apparently, a new type of avalanche prevention device was announced at the ISPO in Munich. The AvyScanner is a small radar that scans the snow cover.
