Abstract
In the present research the eruption at the Cumbre Vieja volcanic ridge, lasted from 19 September to 13 December 2021, and the lava effusions were monitored. Multispectral images from satellites are widely exploited for mapping lava flows and lava fields. Satellite data contain reflective and emissive information in the visible, infrared, and thermal portions of the electromagnetic spectrum about territories covered by lava flow. An estimation of the area covered by the lava flow and the newly formed peninsula were made by use of Copernicus data. Satellite images from Multi Spectral Imager (MSI) onboard Sentinel-2 satellite and Landsat eight to nine (OLI) mission were chosen during the period of volcano activity and are processed in order to visualize and estimate the extent of the natural hazard and to evaluate its negative consequences. A set of different band combinations of optical satellite data and lava indices were applied. An attempt to apply Tasseled Cap Transformation of optical data was made in order to obtain more precise and accurate information about lava flow’s dynamics and to distinguish recently cooled from older lava fields.
