, 2023 The present thesis aims at the analysis of the fragmentation of rockfalls. The fragmentation is a complex phenomenon poorly understood with a lack of tools to reproduce it on rockfall simulators. The effect of fragmentation on the hazard assessment and mapping is significant and it may substantially modify the risk scenario.

, 2021 Seven percent of the Norwegian landscape consists of rock and bare mountains, this makes a total of thirteen thousand mountains. The Norwegian culture is strongly influenced by settlements close to the wild mountain landscape. These populations vary from small villages to larger cities. Living close to these natural forces has resulted in many villages
