Period: 2002-2014
Canada: Taken from acquisition worksheet: This snow saw was used in the field by researchers from the Applied Snow and Avalanche Research Group at the University of Calgary (ASARC) to make cuts in snow and to cut blocks of snow needed for snow profiles and snow profile observations. It was used at study sites in Rogers Pass, B.C. and Blue River, B.C. between 2002 and 2014. The field program was a collaboration with Parks Canada and Mike Wiegele Helicopter skiing. Formed in 1987, the Applied Snow and Avalanche Research Calgary (ASARC) program is part of the Department of Civil Engineering at the University of Calgary. The primary research goal is “Improved methods for forecasting, assessing, mitigating and mapping snow avalanche risks”. Known for conducting field studies that reflect a research need or an opportunity, the program receives funding from a number of operations, including NSERC. Dr. Bruce Jamieson, one of the foremost authorities on avalanches in North America is the NSERC Industrial Research Chair in Snow Avalanche Risk Control.
