RAMMS - Rapid Mass Movement Simulation

In the field of natural hazards there is a strong need for process models that simulate the runout behaviour of avalanches, debris flows and rockfalls. Such models are often applied to evaluate the interaction of a given process with mitigation measures, such as forests or deflecting dams as well as for hazard mapping. The software package RAMMS (Rapid Mass Movement Simulation) unites these process modules with a user-friendly graphical interface.
