Abstract

This work deals with a new methodology for the definition of volcanic susceptibly hazard maps through Cellular Automata and Genetic Algorithms Specifically, the paper describes the proposed approach and presents the first results to the South-Eastern flank of Mt Etna (Sicily, Italy) In particular, resulting hazard maps are characterized by a high degree of detail and allow for a punctual and accurate evaluation of the risk related to lava invasion.
