D1: SUNDAARC: High risk volcanism on the active continental margin of the Sunda Arc

(C. Reichert, Hannover)

Besides earthquakes, subduction processes are associated with volcano eruptions, and constitute a considerable risk. Volcano structure, chemistry and behaviour provide a very important scientific access to the processes involved. Both volcanic risk mitigation and research on active margins require continuous monitoring of all suitable parameters and analysis of the geological and tectonic setting. This forms the basis to establish reliable models of the internal volcanic processes and the transportation of fluids and partial melts from the sources to the surface. In addition to results of a joint research initiative at the Sunda Arc within the scope of »Geotechnologien«, contributions from this area and other active margins are solicited to enable profound comparison and the conceiving of future efforts.
