Preliminary results of lava flow mapping using remote sensing in Piton de la Fournaise, La R#x00E9;union island

摘要

The use of remote sensing is more and more incontrovertible in volcanic monitoring, especially in INSAR and thermal studies. A comprehensive database of high-resolution multispectral and multitemporal optical satellite imagery exists for Piton de la Fournaise, the active volcano on La Réunion Island. This database, however, remains relatively underexploited in volcanological studies of Piton de la Fournaise.
