	Montserrat - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Today, Montserrat is often given the nickname of the Emerald Island of the Caribbean, because the island's large slopes are covered by lush green tropical vegetation, and through the connection to Ireland of many of its early settlers.
		Montserrat's Georgian-era capital city of Plymouth was destroyed and two-thirds of the island's population forced to flee abroad owing to the eruption of the Soufriere Hills volcano that began on July 18, 1995.
		Montserrat was populated by Arawak and Carib peoples when it was claimed by Christopher Columbus on his second voyage for Spain in 1493, naming the island 'Santa María de Montserrat'.

	Jack L. Rozdilsky - Emerging Issues Impacting Post-Volcanic Disaster New Towns on Montserrat
		Montserrat is an island located in the inner arc of the Leeward Island group in the Lesser Antilles of the Caribbean Sea.
		In Montserrat, new town development is based on the need to create human settlements to both absorb and support the built environment that was lost on the southern two-thirds of the island during the volcanic disaster of the late 1990s.
		The situation is much different on Montserrat, where the catastrophic destruction of the high speed, superheated pyroclastic flows, followed by the massive debris flows, and the continued high risks of being in the proximity to the active volcano make areas in the exclusion both unrecognizable to its former inhabitants and extremely dangerous.

	AN OLD VOLCANO AWAKENS ON MONTSERRAT
		By August 8, the intensity of the tremors and venting had increased to the point that officials evacuated the sick and elderly from the southern half of the island.
		Gas analyzers on the Soufriere Hills volcano began to detect telltale emissions of sulfur dioxide in August - a clear signal that magma was rising close to the surface.
		The magma rising beneath the Soufriere Hills volcano on Montserrat is re-melted material that was brought in conveyor-belt fashion from the Mid-Atlantic Ridge, mixed with sediments that were picked up along the way.

		Plymouth Amidst the hurricanes, tropical storms and floods of the Caribbean's 1995 hurricane season the 10,000 people of Montserrat battled the effects of an erupting volcano.
		The Government and people of Montserrat have been through a roller-coaster of events including having to twice relocate a majority of the population to a designated safe area north of the capital, Plymouth in phased exercises August 21-23 and December 1-2, 1995.
		Ash from the eruption-cloud and from a density current which flowed down the flanks of the volcano caused darkness in Plymouth and surrounding areas for a considerable period at around 8:02am, although total ash thickness in the city was only a few millimetres.

	Gracelyn Cassell - The Myopic Hand at Work: Colonial Development Policy in Montserrat
		Montserrat entered the twentieth century as a British Crown colony, and although there have been name changes such as 'dependent territory', and 'overseas territory' and a liberal rhetoric of a 'partner' relationship, the essential status has not changed significantly.
		Montserrat's colonial history exemplified these mechanisms even in the present day with, for example, new calls for land registration in the north of the island by a certain date after which land will become crown land, though few can afford the surveyor's fees to substantiate local land knowledge for foreign planners.
		Montserrat's Plan was the first to be submitted and it was circulated in the Colonial Office for comments by those concerned with various sections of the plan in December 1949.

	Montserrat May 2002
		Montserrat was a tranquil, unspoiled island until July 18th 1995, when the Soufriere Hills Volcano, became active after lying dormant for 400 years.
		The capital, Plymouth, which lies below the volcano was evacuated and was quickly covered in ash, suddenly making half of the 11,000 population homeless.
		At the end of what was one of the most fascinating visits we have ever made, we were certainly left with admiration for those who have remained on the island and what they have already achieved.

	The Volcanic Drama at Montserrat
		Montserrat, once known as the "Emerald Island" of the British West Indies, is entirely of volcanic origin, and is erupting again.
		The wolf has now moved to Montserrat, and the question now is just how hungry is he.
		If the ongoing eruptions at Montserrat remain similar to those that have already occurred, the pyroclastic flows will probably stay in the valleys surrounding the volcano and the north end of the island will remain relatively safe.

	Volcano Continues to Hound British Island of Montserrat
		In Montserrat's epic battle between man and nature, nature - in the form of the Soufriere Hills volcano - is triumphing, threatening the viability of this onetime paradise in the eastern Caribbean.
		Since the volcano awoke in July 1995 after centuries of dormancy, more than half of Montserrat's 12,000 residents have fled to other Caribbean islands, Britain and the United States, while others have been placed in shelters, some of which are in deplorable condition.
		At the same time, most neighboring islands, wrestling with high unemployment and other problems of their own, have made it clear that while they are sympathetic toward the evacuees they do not want to take them in permanently.

	BBC News \| Americas \| Montserrat's volcano wakes up again
		A BBC correspondent in the region says the eruption came as a surprise to scientists monitoring the volcano and is likely to force the postponement of plans to re-open the centre of the island.
		Several thousand people fled Montserrat in 1997 because of repeated eruptions and lava flows which destroyed the capital, Plymouth, and made large areas of the former British colony too dangerous to live on.
		Scientists at the Montserrat Volcano Observatory said on Friday the volcano's dome, a mound of debris in its crater, was unstable and he warned residents to stay away from Soufriere, which is at the southern end of the 39 square-mile (62 sq km) island.

		The Plymouth lights which we had last year, sponsored in part by MONLEC and the business community, are going to be re-established in the relocated parts of Montserrat, or what we might say is the current city of Montserrat stretching from Cork Hill all the way north to St. John's.
		One of the things I'm asking all of the people in Montserrat who are not currently relocated and indeed some of the church communities, is that we must remember the people in the shelters.
		And our other friends who were not born in Montserrat but have sought to use Montserrat either as a place for visit and relaxation or for spending part of their time here where they have adopted.

		As of the morning of 19 July, based on conversations with Montserrat residents, SRU believed the initial eruption was a small phreatic event with minor ashfall spread around the island by local winds.
		At the request of Montserrat, the Government of France was sending two French scientists (arriving on 25 July) to provide the SRU with technical assistance and additional equipment.

		The table for Plymouth in Montserrat show that near sea level, the annual rainfall is about 1,250-2,000 mm/50-80 in, well distributed throughout the year, with a wetter season from July to November.
		Montserrat lies in the track of violent tropical hurricanes, which are most likely to develop between August and October.
		The severest of these storms may only strike Montserrat every few years but the appreciable rainfall they, and less violent disturbances, bring to a wider area accounts for the heavier rainfall during these months.

	Montserrat Creole - an Irish brogue?
		It is known that Montserrat was first settled not by the English but by a group of disaffected Irish Catholics from the nearby St. Kitts in 1633 (Le Page, 1957-8: 55; Fergus, 1975: 7-12; [Fergus, 1994: 16-35]).
		In the open vowels there is sociolinguistic variability in Montserrat just as in Jamaica: pot may non-basilectally be distinct from pat by having [Q] as against [a], and similarly talk with [Q:] or choice with [QI].
		In Montserrat it has also been applied as the name of a kind of tree, but this is not a meaning associated with the source form, bainne clabair.
