RAMMS User Workshops fall 2013
October 25^th 2013 we will hold a RAMMS Xchange Workshop in Davos, Switzerland. November 13^th/14^th there will be a RAMMS Basic Workshop in Birmensdorf, Switzerland. Further information here.

Updated Manuals Available!
We completely revised our avalanche and debris flow manuals. All new functions of the version 1.5 are included now. You can get the new manuals on our download page.

New scientific Publications
The RAMMS team recently published interesting papers on numerical avalanche simulation:

Bartelt et al. 2012: Modeling mass-dependent flow regime transitions to predict the stopping and depositional behavior of snow avalanches. J. Geophys. Res.

Bartelt et al. 2012: Overcoming the stauchwall: Viscoelastic stress redistribution and the start of full-depth gliding snow avalanches. Geophysical Research Letters.
