During Winter - XXI IAE. 2020-09-30 Creation Document digital Snow and Avalanche Study Establishment (SASE) is engaged to carry out studies on snow in different fields of science. Some of the important studies are; snow mechanics, snow dynamics, heat changes in snow pack, energy budget model based on reflectance, glaciological and meteorological parameters, snow metamorphism, accumulation and ablation pattern of snow cover, settlement rate of snow and glaciers, recording of snow and met parameters manually as well as using automatic weather stations. Studies on crevasse formation are also being carried out in world's highest battlefield (i.e. Siachen Glacier). The main aim of SASE is to minimize the avalanche hazard and to save the men and material. These avalanche hazards can be minimized using active and passive methods. Active methods are control of avalanches using different control structures and passive is avalanche-forecasting techniques based on current parameters and experiences.
