PRESENTATIONS & PAPERS

The centre piece of ISSW 2014

We received 266 submission for presentations at this year's ISSW, which we believe is a new record for a North American ISSW. Screening all of the submitted abstracts was a big job - thanks to all the reviewers -, but we were able to put together an exciting program that showcases the different areas of avalanche research and operating challenges, focuses on hot topics and recent developments and appeals to both researchers and practitioners. We are quite excited about the program, which we will publish shortly.

Publishing your paper in a peer-reviewed journal

ISSW 2014 authors wishing to publish their studies in a peer-reviewed journal now have two options. In addition to the traditional special issue in Cold Regions Science and Technology (CRST), we are excited to announce a new collaboration with the Journal of Outdoor Recreation and Tourism (JORT) to give studies on the human dimension of avalanche safety and papers focused on management implications a better home. Working together with these two journals more accurately represents the breath of today's avalanche research and gives authors more options for reaching their target audience.
