In August, 1984, Robert Y. Koyanagi, Seismologist, and George Kojima, Electronics Technician were missioned to Indonesia to evaluate the radio telemetered seismic network (RTS) at Merapi Volcano Observatory located at Yogyakarta in Central Java.
Merapi Volcano in Central Java is the most active volcano in Indonesia. Eruptions have occurred very frequently (approximately once in a year as recorded since 1920) and it is situated in a densely populated area. Therefore it may be classified as a very dangerous volcano.

After the December eruption 1930, the laducourses of Merapi Volcano, Central Java previously showed no water circulation, expect at big rainfall, which caused shorthliving banjirs.
The ladumasses were deeper cut in the course of the mouths and it appears always clearer, that they were built of a heterogen, lightbrown colored sand mass, where in-between irregularly scattered, the stones occurred as individuals or as bouldertrails.
Almost all authors are the opinion, that the well - known wedusgembel, which caused death and destruction on the western slope of the Merapi, originated from the hot lava avalanches (glowing avalanches), which rolled down along the slides, whereas 'shout-out' wedusgmbel have not taken place.
The purpose of this assignment wa to provvide support to the seissmic program at the Merapi Vulcano Observatory (MVO) of the Vulcanological Survey of Indonesia (VSI). Instrument maintenance and data analysis support were provided for by Bruce Furukawa and Bob Koyanagi between 13 to 24 May; additional assistance in instrument maintenance was provi MVO ed by Furukawa from 25cMay to 9June.

Merapi volcano, located at Central Java - Indonesia, is one of the most active volcano in the world. Since 1006, about 60 cycle of activity were reported. During the 100 years, more than 24 activities recorded in detail. Dome formation and pyroclastic flow have been occurred in turns.
Condensates, silica tube sublimates and incrustations were sampled from high temperature fumaroles (500 - 800°C) and lava sample were collected at Merapi Volcano, Indonesia in Jan - Feb. 1984).
Mass and energy balance allow magma transport within volcanoes to be quantified. Thus work used microgravity and height data and their variation to interpret volcanic. activity. An international comparison of absolute and relative gravimeters (at BIPM, serves) and a set of measurements in a adjustable pressure-temperature chamber revealed the performances and the limits of the Scintrex SG3-M me…
