Mount Arjuno in East Java shows geomorphological evidence of volcanic debris avalanches caused by the instability of the volcano during its growth and collapse cycles. This study aims to identify the geomorphological characteristics of Mount Arjuno's debris avalanches and the post-avalanche dynamics that develop in the deposits. The methods used were geomorphological analysis through morphological, morphometric, morphostructural, morphochronological, morphoarrangement, and morphodynamic approaches using DEMNAS data, Sentinel-2, Landsat, and Google Earth images validated through field observations and processed using a Geographic Information System. The results of the study show that debris flows developed in two main sectors, namely the southeast slope and the north slope, with different characteristics. The southeast slope has a horseshoe-shaped scar with fan-like deposits, a runout length of 17.82 km, a deposit area of 63.64 km², and an H/L ratio of 0.17, while the northern slope has a triangular scar with elongated and branched deposits, a runout length of 17.13 km, a deposit area of 25.34 km², and an H/L ratio of 0.18. The debris flow deposits are composed of andesite lava fragments and pyroclastic material with a matrix of ash to lapilli overlying older lava units. Morphocronological analysis shows that landslides occurred earlier on the southeastern slope than on the northern slope during the Late Pleistocene. Post-landslide dynamics are reflected in the development of stream networks, the emergence of contact springs at the front of the deposits, and differences in vegetation density and higher land use intensity on the southeastern slope.
