Modelling and simulation of a lava flow affecting a shore platform: a case study of Montaña de Aguarijo eruption, El Hierro (Canary Islands, Spain)

Recent subaerial volcanism at El Hierro Island (Canary Islands, Spain) consists of monogenetic volcanic fields. This generated cinder cones, tephra air-fall deposits, and lava flows. The flows reach several kilometres in length extending through shore platforms and, sometimes, penetrating under the sea level. landforms convert it into a natural laboratory for topographic morphometric modelling flow simulations. We perform simulation Montaña de Aguarijo eruption, cone NE rift. associated channelled V-shaped ravine until reaching cliff, where formed cascades. spread cliff base over platform before modifying coastline. Different maps were designed to show results, including geomorphologic reconstruction area affected by this eruption simulations obtained with Q-LavHA plugin.
