Modeling of Mount Batur lava flows and ejecta as new approaches in Indonesian short-term volcanic hazard assessment

Abstract

The volcanic eruption provides valuable products and resources, but can also endanger people's lives, property, and activities. This research models the potential hazards from Mount Batur's eruption to mitigate the impacts in the future. Our research focused on numerical models of volcanic hazards with input parameters derived from geology, deformation, seismic, and geochemical data. We acquired high-resolution DEM data obtained from DEMNAS. We compare modelling results with the existing hazard map of Mount Batur.
