Distribution of Avalanche Foci Across the Territory of the All-Season Tourist and Recreational Complex Elbrus

The article presents the results of a study on the distribution of avalanche centers on the territory of the Elbrus all-season tourist and recreational complex (ATRC). The constructed maps of the surface slopes of the study area with the boundaries of the identified avalanche catchments are provided. In the work, all areas with a steepness from 25° to 60°, which are included in the boundaries of the avalanche catchments, were considered as probable zones of avalanche origin.

Abstract

The article presents the results of a study on the distribution of avalanche centers on the territory of the Elbrus all-season tourist and recreational complex (ATRC). The constructed maps of the surface slopes of the study area with the boundaries of the identified avalanche catchments are provided. In the work, all areas with a steepness from 25° to 60°, which are included in the boundaries of the avalanche catchments, were considered as probable zones of avalanche origin.
