Dynamics of Cotopaxi volcano debris avalanche

Abstract:

Cotopaxi volcano, located 60 km southeast of Quito and 45 km north of Latacunga, is one of the largest active stratovolcanoes in Ecuador. Its proximity to cities and its long eruptive history justify revisiting its hazard assessment. Cotopaxi debris avalanche occurred approximately 4.5 ka and corresponds to one of the largest events in its recent history. The debris avalanche deposit (DAD) is the main source of information about this event becausethe landslide scar is completely hidden by posterior activity.
