Abstract
A detailed geological field work and the current topographic-bathymetric data were used to reconstruct the pre- and post- Digital Terrain Model (DTM) of the Montaña Aguarijo volcano, obtaining the main morphometric parameters associated with its lava flow (2,268 m long; 5 m medium thickness; 422,560 m3). This information was used to simulate lava flows, working with different models of the Q-LavHA application (Mossoux et al., 2016): two probabilistic (Maximum length and Decreasing probability) and one deterministic (FLOWGO). We used this eruption to calibrate and validate this methodology due to it affects a coastal platform of the island of El Hierro, a common geomorphological setting in many oceanic volca- nic islands (Carracedo et al., 2001). Financial support was provided by the Project LAJIAL (ref. PGC2018-101027-B-I00, MCIU/AEI/FEDER, EU). This study was carried out in the framework of the Research Consolidated Groups GEOVOL (Canary Islands Government, ULPGC) and GEOPAM (Generalitat de Catalunya, 2017 SGR 1494).
