Modelling of the lava flow of the Holocene eruption of El Lentiscal, Gran Canaria

Abstract

Volcanic eruptions are very destructive events that change the lives of humans in a short period of time. The island of Gran Canaria, as it belongs to a Volcanic archipelago, is not exempted from this danger. This work focuses on a small Holocene eruption in the municipality of Santa Brígida, which is known as the El Lentiscal eruption. From the work carried out with the QGIS program, the terrain has been topographically reconstructed, as well as obtaining morphological data. A series of simulations have also been carried out with the Q-LavHA plugin, the main objective of this work is to understand the behavior of the lava flow on the ground
