“PLAIN LANGUAGE SUMMARY: On 3 July 2022, a portion of the Marmolada glacier, near Punta Rocca, collapsed and caused the death of 11 mountaineers. This dramatic event had a considerable impact on the media, and authorities were concerned about the risk that other collapses might occur in this and other glaciers of the Dolomites, a well-renowned mountain region of the southeastern Alps and one of the UNESCO World Heritage sites. [They] analyzed the possible causes of the collapse by developing a three-dimensional thermo-mechanical model. The analysis concluded that the collapse was caused by increased internal ice temperature and the development of a dense network of fractures, reducing the ice shear strength, with melting water that possibly contributed by increasing the basal pressure. [They] also showed that collapsing conditions can be identified with a simplified model version approximating the sliding basal surface as a plane with a slope equal to the surface slope. The developed approach can be used in hazard identification and risk analysis of mountain glaciers…”

@wnagy
Zwar kein perfekter Merkspruch, aber ich versuch es meinen Kindern klar zu machen:
Vermeide Sachen mit Werbung. Ich kaufe dir gerne ein gutes Spiel, deine Zeit ist zu kostbar um sie mit Werbung zu vergeuden.

Sachen mit Werbung sind nicht gratis, sie kosten dich das, von dem jeder Mensch nur beschränkt hat: deine Zeit.
