International audience On forested paths, dendrogeomorphology has been demonstrated to represent a powerful Vincent Jomelli* tool to reconstruct past activity of avalanches, an indispensable step in avalanche hazard Delphine Grancher* assessment. Several quantitative and qualitative approaches have...
