Mount Galunggung is an active quarter volcano which hold depositional activity that has continued up
until now. The eruption of Mount Galunggung recorded in history is an explosive eruption coming from
the Crater Lake. Based on history, eruptions has occurred about 4 (four) times, in 1822, 1894, 1918, and
1982 1983 [1]. Volcanic materials will turn into lava as it is raining outside or interact with the large
volumes of water [2]. Damages and losses assessment due to lahar could be done by using remote
sensing techniques. The aim of this paper is to identify the characterization of lahar sediment using
Landsat 8 and mapping the spatial distribution of lahar. Hazardous zoning area of volcanic lava flows are
obtained by perceiving the volumes of eruptions followed by overlay of thematic maps, countour maps,
morphological maps, and land use maps [3]. The modeling results were then validated by identifying the
limits of modeled lava sludge with the reality found in the field, and also by comparing them with lava
flow maps that had already existed [4]. Modeling process of lava flow entails the latest high resolution
data in order to generate the high accuracy model.
