- Volcanic hazard mapping in the Bulusan volcano area, Sorsogon Province

Context and objectives

To set up a hazard analysis program in order to mitigate hazards posed by the volcano, using RS techniques to assist the acquisition of information describing the geological and geographical environment,

Project outcome

- creation of GIS database at a medium scale
- development of preliminary hazard maps (scale 1:100 000 and 1:200 000) for each volcanic hazard identified: pyroclastic flows and surges, lahar flow and deposition, lava flows
