Igan Sutawijaya, a volcano and
geological disaster expert, said the Sunda Strait is a disaster-prone area but the waves may not be directly linked to an eruption.
In fact, based on observations from the Center for Volcanology and
Geological Disaster Mitigation (PVMBG), there was a major eruption.
"We cannot predict whether it will be bigger than 1963, but … according to our evaluation the potential for a full-scale eruption is still high," Devy Kamil Syahbana, an official at Indonesia's centre for volcanology and
geological disaster mitigation centre, told Reuters.
All research, development and design procedures have been completed, and work will proceed on the feasibility study, soil and water conservation research, environmental impact assessment, construction land
geological disaster risk assessment and seismic safety assessment following the issuing of the relevant permits by the end of next month.
Now palaeontologist Dr Tori Herridge wants to know exactly how the
geological disaster occurred, and this documentary charts her journey back time.
Nugroho said data from the volcanology and
geological disaster agency
Therefore, buried depth can be increased to avoid the premature failure when crossing the
geological disaster area.
Yet, they often do not meet the needs of professional fields, such as
geological disaster mapping.
China had managed nearly 600 landslides through the
geological disaster prevention in the second and third construction stage to guarantee the normal operation of the Three Gorges Reservoir, as well as the security of the lives and properties of people living in the reservoir area.
To mitigate
geological disaster, we should depend on both real-time in situ data and quick response to the possibility of
geological disaster.
''The three volcanologists will install infrasonic microphones in three different locations to detect the volcano's activity even under the worst weather conditions,'' Surono, the chief of the Geological Agency at Indonesia's Volcanic and
Geological Disaster Mitigation Center, said Friday.
