The author got the mission after the eruption of the volcano Krakatau from the Dutch-Indian government to go to the volcano and conduct a geological survey. This Publication is the result of this survey and describes the volcano before its erution, the cause of the eruption and everything that happened.
Volcanoes are true wonders of the planet; they are central to the formation, evolution and sustenance of biological systems; they form some of our deepest and most significant cultural attachments to the land; and they attract large numbers of visitors for their aesthetic appeal. Although the primary focus of the analysis in this Study is on volcanic sites that are inscribed on the World Heritage List under criterion (viii), these defining features of volcanoes mean that States Parties may also consider protection of the volcanic heritage value by listing them under other criteria.
Globally, disasters due to natural hazards takes an enormous toll in terms of human lives, destruction to crops and livelihoods, and economic losses. Disaster risk reduction (DRR) has therefore become a critical part of sustainable development strategies. Over the past decades, the role of healthy ecosystems in providing cheap, reliable protection against natural hazards has been increasingly recognized. However, DRR strategies based on ecosystem services are failing in many places because natural ecosystems are being degraded and destroyed.

This essential scientific response presents up-to-date information on 10,000 years of volcanic activity on Earth in a handy, accessible format.
This book aims to give more specific and more easily accessible information about Dokdo's ecological, geological, and meteorological conditions, and marine ecosystem. By examining this unique volcanic island, which has a specific endemic ecosystem, it is anticipated that the information might foster a better understanding of Dokdo.
