MorphoVolc DEM Interface: a web-native platform for morphometry and volumetric estimation of volcanic edifices

Abstract

MorphoVolc DEM Interface is an open-source web platform designed to simplify and standardize the morphometric analysis of volcanic edifices based on digital elevation models. The system computes shape indicators and provides volumetric estimates of the edifice (and, when present, of the caldera) through geometric models, making the process more transparent and reproducible. The architecture is based on three main components: a user interface developed with the JavaScript framework React for uploading and managing data through the browser; an orchestration service built on Node.js and the Express framework; and a...
