Technical visit to Papandayan volcano (2004)


As part of the program arranged by ITB during SALT course was the visit to Papandayan volcano. Papandayan is about 70 km from Bandung city and is one of the active volcanoes in Indonesia. The most recent eruptions of Papandayan were recorded in November-December 2002. The monitoring of ground deformation of Papandayan as impacted by volcanic activity was carried out actively by geodesist from ITB, from Directorate of Volcanology and Geological Hazard Mitigation, Indonesia (DVGHM) and also by research group from UNSW.

Read paper on ground deformation of Papandayan detected by GPS survey (2005) [no longer available] and low-cost GPS-based volcano deformation monitoring at Mt. Papandayan written by Jannsen et al (2002).
