LiDAR-based digital terrain analysis of an area exposed to the risk of lava flow invasion: the Zafferana Etnea territory, Mt. Etna (Italy)

Bisson, Marina; Behncke, Boris; Fornaciai, Alessandro; … - In: Natural Hazards 50 (2009) 2, pp. 321-334

The town of Zafferana Etnea, located on the southeastern slope of Mt. Etna volcano (Italy), has been repeatedly threatened by lava flows in recent centuries. The last serious threat occurred during the 1991–1993 eruption, when the lava front came to a halt only 1.7 km from the centre of town....

Assessment and Modelling of Lava Flow Hazard on Lanzarote (Canary Islands)

Felpeto, A.; Araña, V.; Ortiz, R.; Astiz, M.; García, A. - In: Natural Hazards 23 (2001) 2, pp. 247-257

This paper presents an evaluation of the lava flowhazard on Lanzarote (Canary Islands) by means of aprobabilistic maximum slope model. This model assumesthat the topography plays the major role indetermining the path that a lava flow will follow. Thearea selected for containing future emission...
