CARMA has a long history of serving the Candian Rock Mechanics and Rock Engineering community. Front and centre is the Canadian Rock Mechanics Symposium series. CARMA is currently working on a number of continuing education and training initiatives for our membership, including the continuation of the Canadian Rock Mechanics Symposium and digitizing past proceedings to make them available on-line to members. Please check back for these on-line resources, and others, that will soon be made available.
