Is Svalbard prepared for extreme rainfall?
The APPLICATE project releases its second case study that describes an extreme precipitation event that occurred in Svalbard in November 2016. This event was responsible of several landslides and avalanches. We try to illustrate how a better understanding of weather and climate information could imp...
