3D Reconstructions of the 2022 Fagradalsfjall Volcanic Eruption in Iceland

Thermal and visible 3D reconstructions acquired using the PyMTI-UAS instrument. The dataset was created by James Thompson during the 2022 Fagradalsfjall volcanic eruption campaign in Iceland and was last updated on March 18, 2024.

Use Cases

• Modeling volcanic eruption dynamics based on thermal data.
• Creating 3D terrain models of volcanic landscapes based on visible light reconstructions.
• Analyzing heat flow and lava propagation patterns based on combined thermal and visual data.
• Calibrating or validating remote sensing instruments for geological applications based on the described PyMTI-UAS instrument data.

Strengths

• Data is focused on a specific, well-documented volcanic event (the 2022 Fagradalsfjall eruption).
• Contains multimodal data (thermal and visible spectrum) for 3D reconstruction.
• Acquired using a named scientific instrument (PyMTI-UAS), suggesting a structured collection method.

Limitations

• Description metadata is limited; actual data quality requires manual inspection after download.
• Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download.
• Row count and file size are unknown, which may limit suitability assessment.
