Abstract: | After a recent forest fire, a weathered granite rock slope located in the northwest of Spain may become increasingly susceptible to rockfalls. This study presents a multi-approach assessment of rockfall hazard, with some features deserving particular attention. First, the geomorphological context represented by a weathered rock mass with multiple dispersed blocks presenting various potential instability mechanisms. Secondly, the presence of a hillfort behind the slope and a small village at its toe, limiting the available solutions for rockfall protection. Finally, the combination of different remote sensing techniques (unmanned aircraft system topography and light detection and ranging) with a semi-automatic geostructural analysis has been successfully applied to obtain both a 3D point cloud of the wide area under study in addition to an estimation of mean block volume for rockfall simulations. Additionally, the design and implementation of a protective measure (rock dynamic barrier) have been addressed. |
