The purpose of this field trip was to investigate the extent, thickness versus distance relationships, and source of a young scoriaceous air-fall deposit exposed in the vicinity of the Kamodjang geothermal field. This deposit was first noticed in October 1981, exposed along the highway through the Kamodjang area. The eruption of similar scoria in the future could endanger the village of Pangkal…
From the last two eruptions of Mt.Kelut, i.e. in 1951 and 1966, remarkable changes of the crater bottom were recorded. After the 1951 eruption a lowering of 79 m and after the 1996 eruption up upheaval of 43 m was found to have taken place, as measured at the deepest sections of the crater.
In january thin white smoke was enmitted with pressure. A medium scale discharge of smoke until 75 meters above the craterrim took place once and was repeated 4 x during february.
During the eruption cycle of 1967-1968 a new lavadome came into existence in the upper breach of Batang river (SW-slope) at an elevation of 2600. The extrusion of lava started on October 10, 1967, and the growth of the dome--being accompanied from time to time by small avalanches with a naximun dis-tance of 1.5 km. fron its source--lasted continuously and finally got an elongated shape (Figure …
The eruptions, which in the course of 1924 took place in Kavah Baru, were all of relative short duration. In many cases the activity was restricted to the geyserlike spouting-up of mud from one of the crater openings, which in the course of 1923 were born. Sometines also new craterlats were formed, or except mud also stones were ejected. Naturally the gaspressure at lastnaned eruptions was much…
Of more importance than the flank eruptions are the excentric eruptions, which are fed from a much more deeper lavaniveau than the first mentioned, whereas the breakthrough mostly takes place in the area of the volcano foot. Also excentric eruptions may entirely independently become active fron the main crater, which at flankeruptions is not likely possible. Also the phenomena, with which excen…
The married couple Ariens was staying at Mr. Smits. Mrs. Ariens was as if as child at home with the family Smits. His wife and children were some times ago departing to Bandung.
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].
Mt. Kelut is an active andesite volcano in East Java, Indonesia, part of the Sunda arc, lying within a volcanic belt that is about 150 km above the north-dipping Benioff zone, where the Indian Ocean plate is being subducted beneath Java.
In April 1960 a series of strong tectonic earthquakes took place in the vicinity of the Colo volcano on the island of Una-Una situated in the Gulf of Gorontalo, Central Sulawesi. Unlike that of 1898 these earthquakes were not followed by an eruption of the Colo volcano but only caused a slight incresase in temperature of the solfatara fields. Strong earthquakes were again felt in August 1982, g…
