What kind of volcano is Kelud?

Kelud is classified as a Stratovolcano in Indonesia. Its tectonic setting is Subduction zone / Continental crust (> 25 km).

How is seismicity near Kelud monitored here?

Earthquakes within 50 km of the crater are aggregated from 18 seismic networks and checked against a swarm rule that compares the current rate with this volcano's own 30-day background. Ash advisories come from the VAAC centres that are connected.

Volcano Kelud

Sein Kratersee machte ihn zu einem der tödlichsten Vulkane der Geschichte: 1919 entleerte ein Ausbruch den See in Lahare, die rund 5.000 Menschen töteten, woraufhin niederländische Ingenieure Abflusstunnel durch die Kraterwand trieben. Im Februar 2014 verteilte ein kurzer, heftiger Ausbruch Asche über ganz Java, legte sieben Flughäfen lahm und zwang rund 100.000 Menschen zur Evakuierung.
