On the Cover

Dynamics of avalanches in wet granular media in a rotating drum. Time increases downward in each row and the images increase in wetness to the right; avalanches propagate downward and to the left. The top row displays the rates of change of the local height; bottom, the local fluxes (the white lines are the points of maximum current).
