Location of study area in Armenia. The study area, outlined by a red box on the location map, is located in SW Armenia. The more detailed view shows the areal extent and location of effusion-limited (lighter colored) and volume-limited (darker colored) lava flows located around Aragats volcano. Details of each of these lava flows can be found in Table 1. The dashed red box identifies the boundaries of the lava flow simulation area. The Shamiram Plateau is an elevated region (within the central portion of the lava flow simulation area) comprising lava flows from Shamiram, Atomakhumb, Dashtakar, Blrashark, and Karmratar volcanoes. The ANPP site (black box) is located on the Shamiram Plateau. Photo shows the ANPP site and Atomakhumb volcano.
