Abstract

Mount Lewotobi Laki-Laki since December 2023, the eruption status has increased, with a substantial increase in November 2024. This led to modifications in the distribution of temperature, the patterns of volcanic material flow, and the morphology of the land. The objective of this research was to examine the relationship between the elevation profiles and temperature fluctuations that occurred during the eruption of Mount Lewotobi Laki-Laki. This investigation illustrates the considerable impact of volcanic activity on the environment by employing satellite data-based methodologies, digital elevation models (DEMs), and thermal analysis. The results suggest that volcanic activity has a significant impact on the distribution of temperature and the alteration of geological structures. The observed temperature increase, which extends from the crater to the slopes and lowlands, has an impact on local ecosystems and atmospheric conditions. The precipitous elevation profile significantly impacts the flow pattern of volcanic material, such as lava and lahars, which can pose a disaster risk to settlements and community activities in the vicinity. This research underscores the necessity of ongoing monitoring for risk mitigation and community preparedness in volcanic disasters.

Abstract

In November 2024, the eruption of Mount Lewotobi Laki-laki on Flores Island, Indonesia, resulted in the release of substantial volcanic aerosols, including sulfur dioxide (SO₂) and volcanic debris. These aerosols impacted the environment, health, and aviation activities. The objective of this investigation is to examine the temporal and spatial dynamics of volcanic aerosols by employing the Absorbing Aerosol Index (AAI) in conjunction with TROPOMI satellite data (Sentinel-5P). The methodologies employed are as follows: spatial-temporal analysis with Google Earth Engine (GEE), aerosol dispersion simulation with the HYSPLIT model, and data processing with the Sentinel Application Platform (SNAP). The results indicated a substantial increase in volcanic activity from November 8th to 11th, 2024, as evidenced by an ash column that reached a height of as much as 10,945 m. The distribution of aerosols was influenced by atmospheric dynamics, with high concentrations observed in the vicinity of Mount Lewotobi Laki-laki and extending to the east-southeast. Although the level of volcanic activity declined in late November, aerosol concentrations were still detected in the atmosphere. This investigation offers critical insights into the distribution of volcanic aerosols during the eruption and its effects on disaster risk mitigation and air quality. It is anticipated that these discoveries will facilitate the implementation of more sustainable and effective risk management strategies for volcanic eruptions.
