During the emplacement of the 2014-2015 lava flow in Holuhraun (Iceland) a newcode for the simulation of lava flows (MrLavaLoba) was developed and tested. MrLavaLoba is a probabilistic code which derives the area likely to be inundated and the thickness of the final lava deposit. The flow field in H...
