Geotechnical software company Rocscience is building the hype ahead of the launch of their newest product, RocFall3. The program will extend their popular 2d rockfall simulation software to the next dimension, allowing assessment of complex terrain to determine rockfall catchment needs as well as barrier design requirements. Check out the video below for more details. I’m eagerly awaiting this one next month!

Giant Boulder Smashes Through Italian Farm
An Italian farmer and his family had an unbelievably close call with some house-sized boulders. You have to see the pictures to believe it. The boulders were dislodged during a landslide on January 21 in Northern Italy. One of the boulders smashed through the barn and courtyard of the farm and cut a swath through their vineyard before stopping near a boulder from some previous rockfall / landslide event. That older boulder is even bigger, about the same size as the entire farmhouse and big enough to be seen on Google Earth! See below or download the KMZ file.
