Efforts to compile a more comprehensive bibliography on the ill- famed Krakatau volcano are presently more rewarding than in the pre- viously given attsapts (Van Barem, 1931; Brodie, 1982; Da Nova, 1936, 1953; Kusumadinata et al., 1979; Nourn van Padang, 1951; Ongkosongo & Suwardi, 1981; and Soagiarto & Soegiarto, 1983). This because in the last quarter of a century (1960-1984) we are interpret…

In Anak Krakatau's fifty years of existence an evolutionary developmental growth of its geomorphology and a gradually changing silica-content in the effusive throughout its five decades of eruptive activity could be recognied (De Neve, 1980, 1981).
In the last days of Augst 1883 on of the world's largest cataclysmic eruptions took place : the volacanic complex of Krakatoa, in Sunda Strait between java and Sumatra was shattered ash as to produce striking atmospheric effects over the whole world for several years to come. To consequent tsunami devastated adjacent coasts.
The Sunda Strait is situated between the island of Java and Sumatra, connecting the Java Sea in the north and the Indian Ocean in the South. In the northern part the strait is narrower and shallower than in the southern part. The narrowest part in the north is only about 24 km wide with depth of less than 8 m.
Let me begin with a question: why is it that a university, traditionally charged with the academic functions of teaching and reseacrh, finds itself involved in environmental conservation?
The 1883 eruption of Krakatau Volcano in the Sunda Straits was one of the most impressvive eruptions in human history.
The purpose of this report is to indicate the exixtence of a phreato-magnetic volcanic center in the densely populated area south of Cirebon city. On July 6 and July 29, 1988, I examined the geology of the area near the reservoir (waduk) Setu Patok , located 8 km south of Cirebon city (Figure 1) [108 degrees, 47', 10" S; topographic map, 1966 series, sheet 4722 IV, Tjirebon].
The magnetotelluric method is one of many methods based on measuring the electrical resistivity of the subsurface as an indirect means for studying geology, but it is a method that caught the imagination of many explorations when it was first described nearly three decades ago by Cagniard and Tikhonov.
