Happy new year 2021 !

C'est je crois la 1ère fois que je travaille sur un Cold Case. Johan Gaume EPFL et Alexander Puzrin ETH Zurich montrent qu'une avalanche peut expliquer la tragédie du Col de Dyatlov qui faisait la joie des complotistes depuis 1959. C'est pour Heidi.news heidi.news/sciences/affai…

Huge powder snow avalanche in Taconnaz path yesterday (15 April 2021). The aerosol also flowed down the neighbouring path of Bourgeat ! francebleu.fr/infos/meteo/vi…

Great opportunity for those who seek an overview of current research on granular materials. See the open access proceedings of the Powders and Grains 2021 conference, just published online. epj-conferences.org/articles/epjco… M.A. Aguirre, S. Luding, L.A. Pugnaloni and R. Soto

"X-ray study of fast and slow granular flows with transition jump in between" just published in Granular Matter with Ségolène Méjean, François Guillard and Itai Einav. See here: rdcu.be/cDjcN

Happy new year 2022 !
