CARTOGRAPHY OF ROCKFALLS SOURCE AREAS IN THE ISLAND OF EL HIERRO, CANARY ISLANDS
The map shows a probabilistic identification of rockfall source areas for El Hierro Island, prepared with the combination of multiple statistical models. To run the models, we have used observed source areas as dependent variable and a set of thematic information as independent variables (e.g., morphometric parameters derived from the DTM, lithological information that considers the mechanical behaviour of the rocks).
The map shows the probability of each single pixel to be a rock fall source area and can be used as input for rockfall regional modelling in El Hierro (Canary Island)
