Short summary
We studied lake sediments from western Norway to reconstruct 10 000 years of snow avalanche activity. Using physical and chemical analyses, we identified periods of increased avalanche frequency linked to climatic shifts in the North Atlantic region. Activity was low during the warm early Holocene but increased sharply in the past 2300 years. Our results suggest that long-term changes in snow avalanches are driven by large-scale patterns in wind and ocean temperatures.
