Abstract

This field trip has been devised as the closure of this sixth edition of the RocExs workshop, on the Wednesday May 24th. According to the purposes of this interdisciplinary meeting, most of the suggested topics for the workshop are tried to be present during the field trip: Rockfall characterization, inventory and mapping; testing and modeling; hazard and risk analyses; monitoring; large rockfall cases; protective measures; risk mitigation and management. We hope that you will enjoy this trip, both from technical point of view and leisure, because Montserrat Mountain is a special place where earth and heaven meet configuring captivating scenery. The rockfall risk in Montserrat must be managed properly in order to keep on enjoy-ing this cultural and natural heritage.
