Abstract
In this paper we prove that the general avalanche problem AP is in NC for the Kadanoff sandpile model in one dimension, answering an open problem of [2]. Thus adding one more item to the (slowly) growing list of dimension sensitive problems since in higher dimensions the problem is P-complete (for monotone sandpiles).
