Climate change has markedly increased the susceptibility of glacier-related landslides to alpine environments, leading to cascading processes with catastrophic impacts. Nevertheless, their triggering processes remain inadequately understood, which hinder robust hazard assessments and effective risk mitigation. Glacier collapses and cascading processes have been frequently observed at Xiaoma Gully in Amney Machen Mountain. Base...

Dynamic response characteristics of the passive heave compensator with auxiliary gas bottles are investigated in this paper. A mathematical model of the passive heave compensator is developed which includes mechanics, hydraulics and pneumatics. The key innovation of the proposed model is that the thermodynamic model of gas exchange between the piston accumulator and the gas bottles is derived and discussed. Meanwhile, a one-di...
