This book provides the first comprehensive compilation of
cutting-edge research on Merapi volcano on the island of Java,
Indonesia, one of the most iconic volcanoes in the world. It
integrates results from both the natural (geology, petrology,
geochemistry, geophysics, physical volcanology) and social
sciences, and provides state-of-the-art information on volcano
monitoring, the assessment of volcanic hazards, and risk mitigation
measures. As one of Indonesia's most active and dangerous
volcanoes, Merapi is perhaps best known for its pyroclastic density
currents, which are produced by gravitational or explosive lava
dome failures (commonly referred to as Merapi-type nuees ardentes).
Merapi's eruptions have posed a persistent threat to life, property
and infrastructure within the densely populated areas on the
volcano's flanks, as demonstrated most recently by catastrophic
eruptions, which attracted worldwide media interest.
