The main objective of study is to evaluate the previous understanding of the transport and depositional mechanisms of the Banahaw debris avalanches by taking advantage of new techniques (GIS) and new data from remote sensing (InSAR). The works of Geronimo-Catane (1994) and the recent study by Lamoste (2024) will be reviewed. With the availability of new exposures of the debris avalanche deposits in Banahaw Volcano, the internal structure of the deposits will be further investigated to collect more data that will give light to the emplacement mechanism.
The research aligns with the following UN SDGs:
- SDG 9 - Industry, Innovation, and Infrastructure
- SDG 11 - Sustainable Cities and Communities
- SDG 15 - Life on Land
