Merapi (125 km) is a large, active strato volcano on the segmented Indonesian volcanic front. It is composed of numerous pyroclastic flows, lava flows, and lahars, and characterized by classic flank domes. Its lavas are calc-alkaline hi-Al basalts and andesites ranging in SiO2 from 49 to 56 (%wt.), having the usual characteristics of low MgO, P2O2, TiO2, and high Al2O3, FeO and CaO.
Les domes de lave du Merapi (Java, Indonesia) s'accumulent au sommet du volcanet se detruisent regulierement sous forme d'ecoulements denses a blocs-et-cendres, associes parfois a des deferlantes pyroclastiques. Ce gnere d'eruption se produit en moyenne tous les 1 a 4 ans et represente un risque majeur pour les milliers de personnes qui vivent sur les flancs du Merapi.
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…
Keberadaan sebuah gunungapi, seperti Merapi, memberikan dua dampak yang kontradiktif, yakni dampak positif berupa daya tarik gunungapi baik keindahan alam maupun kekayaannya akan mineral dan material, dan dampak negatif sebagai sumber bencana bagi kehidupan di sekitarnya.
Letusan Gunungapi adalah suatu fenomena alam yang telah berlangsung sejak bumi ini masih ada, dan akan terus sebagai konsekuensi dari dinamika bumi ini, ia merupakan manivestasi gerakan potongan-potongan laoisan bagian atas bumi (Lempeng Tektonik). Bada bagian tepi lempeng inilah kegiatan gunungapi berlangsung. Interaksi antara lempeng Hindia dan Asia di tepian pulau Jawa telah menyebabkan terb…
La recherche en volcanologie a poor objectifs la connaissance de la structure interne des edifices volcaniques et la comprehension des processus dynamiques qui les affectent. Ces travaux contribuent naturellement a la surveillance des volcans qui a pour but a prevision des eruptions et des evolutions des systemes volcaniques.
Die vorliegende Dissertation entstand am Institut fur Mineralogie, Petralogie und Geochemie (IMPG) der Universitat Freiburg im Rahmen eines durch die Deutsche Forschungsgemein-schaft unterstutzten Gemeinschaftsvorhabens zur Desaster-Forschung am Hochirisko-Vulkan Merapi (Indonesien), an dem verschiedene geowissenschaftliche Institutionen in Deutschland und Indonesien unter der Leitung des GeoFo…
Mount Merapi, island are volcano located in the center of Java (Indonesia), lies upon the remnents of a volcano older than 400.000 years called Pre-Merapi. Sensu stricto Merapi is a very young volcano characterised by a rapid edification. Its history is divided into four periods (ancient, Middle aged, Recent and Historical Merapi).
Merapi volcano is one of the most active volcanoes in the world and during the last 3000 yrs, it has been more or less continuously in eruption. Merapi volcano is a stratovolcano with a south-west facing horseshoe-shaped summit crater filled by a lava dome. Its composition rangers from basalt to basaltic andesite (52 to 56% SiO2) and it has high Al2O3 (18.5 to 20.2% wt) and medium to high K2O …
