ASHFALL DISPERSAL MAPPING OF THE 2020 TAAL VOLCANO ERUPTION USING DIWATA-2 IMAGERY FOR DISASTER ASSESSMENT

Natural disasters incur many fatalities and economic losses for vulnerable and developing countries such as the Philippines. It is crucial that during calamities, on-ground surveillance is supplemented by low-cost and time-efficient methods such as satellite remote sensing. Diwata-2 is a Philippine...
