This month in AvaFrame - June 2025 edition

Welcome to the June 2025 update:

As announced, we finished our report on ForestFrame 2 Report, please have a look over at zenodo (German only).

We added new tools for the com6RockAvalanche module: generating scarp and resulting DEMs based on polygons.

The deployment of releases to pypi was overhauled. It should run more stable now.

Also very exciting: we started to include code and configuration for MoT-PSA as well as MoT-Voellmy by NGI (see here ). We are looking forward to getting this to run and fully calibrated. But it will take some time….

This month in AvaFrame - May 2025 edition

Welcome to the May 2025 update:

This month we took part in the INAC 2025 conference, including a talk on “New Normative and Digital Instruments in Avalanche Protection” which also had AvaFrame as a topic.

One of the biggest change this month is the switch away from conda to pixi for our development environment. The documentation has been updated accordingly.

The project ForestFrame 2 is coming to an end, we are currently working on the report. You can expect some changes regarding resistance areas in future releases.
