Abstract

In this paper we study the impact of errors and uncertainties in digital elevation models on the analysis of hazardous mass flows at Galeras volcano in Colombia. The increasing use of computer models and software has made it imperative that the effect of errors in digital elevation models which crucially determine the flow characteristics be quantified. We illustrate in this paper the significant effect of such errors and also attempt to correlate these to flow features.
