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…
As a part of JSPS-LIPI Scientific Program, gravity survey around Sunda Strait was carried out. In Sumatra, the existence of extreme lineality of fault zone called Sumatra fault is postulated. Katili &Hehuwat (1967) adduced some avidences for a horizontal displacement of right lateral character of Sumatra fault.
The activities and magmatic cycles of the Krakatau Volcanic Complex are closely related to the goology and tectonic position of Strait Sunda, which are more related to Sumatra than to Java. The basoment of Strait Sunda consists of ignimbrites and acid tuffs of 0.1 million year old, and the thormal gradient in and around Sunda Strait is about 6.7°C por 100 meter. Tectonically, strait Sundo is a…
Volcanology is ained at the scientific study of phonomona, which strictly speaking, only refers to manifestations of surface cruptions of molton rock or magna and their related gasos, with the structuros, deposits, and other offects produced thoroby. Until now physiographio descriptions of the Indonesian volcanoos, their eruptions and or porio- dic increased activities, the geomorphological lan…
From late August to early September of 1982, a geophysical cruise was conducted by the Geological Resarch and Development Centre in coperation with Janhidros, Indonesian Navy using the survey vessel KRI-Burujulasad 931. The cruise was intended to determine the sub bottom sediments and the distribution of the volcanic products of the Krakatau eruptions.
Krakatau Volcanic Complex located in Sunda Strait, Indonesia, erupted catastrophically in 1883. The eruption was preceeded by the increasing number of seismicity during the last 7 years prior to the eruption. The initial stage of the eruption was indicated by the ash outburst of Perbu- atan volcano in May and followed by another activity in the area south of Danan Volcano in July, 1883. Ashes i…
Krakatau volcano located in Sunda Strait between Suamtra and Jawa is worldwide known because of the destructive Plinian eruption that took place in 1813. The erupstion effect was felt all over was felt all over the world; seawaves travelled as far as 22,000 km reaching the south american pasific coast and indian coast of africa while volcanic ashes were ejected up to the height of 90 km that tr…

Sunda Strait is located in between Sumatra adn Java, posses area of approximately 8, 138 sq. km.
The Sunda Strait is narrow and shallow in the eastern part, but wide and deep in the western part. The strait connects the Jawa Sea and the Indian Ocean. It is filled with mixed saline water from the Jawa Sea during all months but November, so that virtually no influence of the Indian Ocean is noted in the western part of the Jawa Sea (Suriaatmadja 1956).
