Evaluating the effect of digital elevation model resolution in lahar hazard simulations: insights from the 1877 Cotopaxi scenario, Ecuador

Evaluating the effect of digital elevation model resolution in lahar hazard simulations: insights from the 1877 Cotopaxi scenario, Ecuador

Numerical simulations of gravity-driven flows such as lahars are highly sensitive to the Digital Elevation Model (DEM) used, which directly affects prediction fidelity and computational demands. In this study, we explore the influence of DEM upscaling on lahar simulations within the topographically-...
