Abstract

Despite the significant progress in our understanding of Merapi and its activity, as demonstrated by the contributions in this book, fundamental scientific questions about the volcano have remained unanswered and there are significant challenges that lie ahead. In this final chapter, we provide a scientific outlook for Indonesia’s most intensely studied and best monitored volcano and explore some of these open questions and upcoming challenges. These comprise open issues regarding the geology, volcanic history, petrogenesis, eruptive activity, volcano monitoring, early warning system, emergency planning, volcanic crisis management, social and communication changes, international collaboration, and the volcano’s current status of activity following the large-magnitude eruption in 2010.
