The Ijen caldera complex is located in an active tectonic region, where the Indian plate is now sliding approximately northward beneath Java at about 6-7 cm/yr. This study is in two parts, the firs is detailed field mapping and includes a geological map and stratigraphy, which form the basis for other work. The second concentrates on the post-caldera pyroclastic deposits.
The Guntur-Gandapura Volcanic Complex is part of a clustur of active volcanoes forming a chain in the southern part of West Java, regionally belonging to the western part of the Sunda arc. The Complex, 60 km center (2.249 m) being the highest peak and Guntur cone (1.950 m) the most active and the youngest cone of the Complex.
The volcanic rocks mainly consist of lava flows and pyroclastic deposits that are exposed at the bridgewater, Nelson and Grant volcanis compoxes. Yhe pyroclastic deposits resulting from phreatomagmatic eruption varu in physical characteristics that are likely caused by fluctuation of magma/water ratio during interaction.
This thesis describes the result of a geochemical study concering the causes and consenquences of a natural form of environmental pollution that is associated with volcanic activity. Concentrations of chemical elemetns strongly exceed common geological background levels in the study area near Patuha volcano, West Java, Indonesia.
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).
Situe dans la partie est de Java, le Kelut est l'un des volcans les plus regulierement meurtriers d'Indonesie. Une trentaine d'eruptions y ont ete recensees. La derniere, en 1990, est l'objet principal de ce travail. Reconstitution de l'histoire geologique du Kelut. La reconnaissance de 3 stades dans l'evolution du volcan est nouvelle; elle se fonde sur des changements morphplogiques et structu…
Caldera forming eruption is on of the important phenomena that caused direct huge damage of global impact not only for a short time but moreover for long periods. There have been three big caldera forming eruption in Indonesia within a period of 1000 years BP that affected global climate change, such as Rinjani (1257 AD), Tambora (1815 AD) and Krakatau (1883 AD).
The transport of chemical elements by uprising magma is one of the fundamental processes by which material is recycled through subduction along convergent plate-boundaries. Obtaining quantitative information on the mass balance of volatile elements is hampered by their complex behavior in magmatic systems.
Soputan Volcano is one of the few basaltic volcanoes among 127 active volcanoes in Indonesia. It is part of the Sempu-Soputan volcanic complex located south of Tondano Caldera, North Sulawesi and commonly produces both explosive eruptions with VEI 2-3 and effusive lava dome and flow eruptions.
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…
