Detection and Hazard Mapping of Lahar and Pyroclastic Flow at Mount Merapi in Indonesia using the LAHARZ Program

Seulki Lee, Chang-wook Lee

Abstract

Summary In this paper, lahar and pyroclastic flow simulated about Mount Merapi's eruptions. The Mount Merapi began a large-scale eruption in late October 2010. The pyroclastic flow and lahar occurred at this time. Also, significant property damage and personal injury occurred. Therefore, we have simulated the lahars and pyroclastic flow zone using LAHARZ program in order to analyze volcanic hazard area. In addition, Detection of lahars and pyroclastic flow zones using optical Landsat images as verification data. Finally, we have compared and verified the detected lahars and pyroclastic flow zones from Landsat with the simulated potential zones using LAHARZ program.
