Abstract

The Energy Cone tool is a simple methodology that can be used to estimate the runout and inundation area of pyroclastic density currents, landslides and other mass movements. This tools creates a simple output with the Energy Cone contour on top of a hillshade image calculated from the DEM. If the DEM is in degrees, a kmz file is created which can be downloaded for visualization with Google Earth.
