Abstract 26

After the 22 December 2018 flank collapse, series of hydrothermal, phreatomagmatic, and 27

effusive eruptions occurred and changed the morphology of Anak Krakatau. The ejected 28

volcanic materials enlarge and increase the elevation of the west flank, which may indicate a 29

reconstruction phase of the Anak Krakatau edifice. Here, we investigated the morphological 30

changes of Anak Krakatau between 2019 and 2020 by using drone SfM photogrammetry, 31

Sentinel and Pleiades satellite imageries, and fieldworks photograph data. The result shows 32

volcaniclastic deposit due to the hydrothermal and/or phreatomagmatic eruptions that covered 33

0.08 km2 around an active crater lake at Anak Krakatau between February and January 2020. 34

The large phreatomagmatic and effusive eruptions on 10 April 2020 produced tephra and lava 35

flow deposits that significantly changed the morphology of Anak Krakatau. The deposit of tephra 36

covered 0.815 km2 at the north – northwest flanks of Anak Krakatau, while the lava flow 37

emplaced 0.2 km2 and elongated around 742 m from the pre-existing crater lake to the west 38

shoreline of Anak Krakatau. The lava flow has a blocky surface and highly fractured that 39

possibly formed due to compression – extension stresses during lava flow emplacement. The 40

emplacement of the massive lava flow at the pre-existing crater lake may change the future 41

eruption style at Anak Krakatau, which was previously dominated by hydrovolcanism activities, 42

such as hydrothermal and phreatomagmatic events. 43

Introduction 48

The flank collapsed of Anak Krakatau on 22 December 2018 was the most destructive volcanic 49

event in the last decade. Approximately, 127 × 106 m3 volume of the Anak Krakatau flank 50

Page 5: Morphological Changes of Anak Krakatau after the 22

collapsed and caused a catastrophic tsunami in Sunda Strait (Darmawan et al. 2020; Williams et 51

al. 2019; Ye et al. 2020). The generated tsunami reached a maximum height of 13 m and claimed 52

437 fatalities (Muhari et al. 2019). Shortly, after the devastating flank collapsed event in 2018, 53

the morphology of Anak Krakatau has changed significantly. The pre-existing volcanic cone had 54

collapsed and formed a large depression area with a crater lake as identified by post-collapse 55

radar satellite imagery (Walter et al. 2019). High resolution bathymetry dataset after collapsed 56

indicates that the material are deposited at the southwest seabed with thickness up to 70.4 m 57

(Priyanto et al. 2021). 58

After the December 2018 catastrophic event, the activity of Anak Krakatau was dominated by 59

hydrovolcanism activity at the crater lake where hydrothermal eruptions intermittently occurred 60

in 2019. Between January and February 2020, a series of hydrothermal and/or phreatomagmatic 61

activities at the crater lake produced steam-dominated and volcaniclastic materials with column 62

eruption of up to 500 m, followed by a larger phreatomagmatic and effusive events on April 10th, 63

2020 (PVMBG 2020). After these eruptions, field observation conducted by Bengkulu Natural 64

Resource Conservation Agency observed a massive lava flow deposit that elongated from the 65

2019 pre-existing volcanic crater lake to the west shoreline up to hundreds of meters and 66

significantly changed the morphology of Anak Krakatau. 67

In this study, we documented for the first-time morphological changes of Anak Krakatau after 68

the December 2018 catastrophic event. We used high-resolution UAV SfM aerial images 69

orthomosaic that were acquired during fieldwork in August 2019, optical satellite images from 70

Sentinel 2A and the Pleiades to observe morphological changes of Anak Krakatau and some 71

fieldwork photographs between 2019 and 2020. UAV photogrammetry currently widely used for 72

volcano monitoring (James et al. 2020), for lava dome morphology and instability (Darmawan et 73

al. 2018; Darmawan et al. 2018), for volcanic gas measurements and ash cloud imaging (Gomez 74

and Kennedy 2018; Liu et al. 2019; McGonigle et al. 2008), and volcano topographic changes 75

Page 6: Morphological Changes of Anak Krakatau after the 22

(Darmawan et al. 2017; Müller et al. 2017; Wahyudi et al. 2020) as UAV is very flexible to 76

operate and able to produce high-quality aerial image datasets. While, Sentinel 2A constellation 77

satellite is freely available with a revisit time of 10 days and can provide large geodatabase to 78

monitor dynamic processes of the earth, includes volcano activities (Valade et al. 2019). Sentinel 79

2A has a pixel resolution of 10 m that can be used for large scale changes at an active volcano, 80

such as in mapping lava flows at Mt. Etna, Italy (Corradino et al. 2019), while Pleiades satellite 81

constellation that has a high resolution up to 0.5 m is able to monitor volcanic processes, such as 82

lava flow emplacement at Fogo volcano, Cape Verde (Bagnardi et al. 2016). 83

Our datasets can explain the eruption processes that change the morphology of Anak Krakatau 84

between 2019 and 2020. Monitoring of morphological changes at active marine stratovolcano 85

such as Anak Krakatau is vital for volcanic hazard assessment, as the replacement of crater lake 86

into massive lava flow deposit may change the near future mechanism of eruption at Anak 87

Krakatau. Moreover, Anak Krakatau's edifice that is progressively reconstructed by its eruption’s 88

products, progressively grows, overstepping, and may be subjected to a gravitational load that 89

causes flank instability and triggers tsunami in the next decades. Therefore, observation of 90

morphological changes at an active marine stratovolcano should be systematically documented 91

in order to mitigate volcano tsunami events worldwide. 92

93

Overview of Anak Krakatau 94

Anak Krakatau is an active volcano located in Sunda Strait, Indonesia, and lies along with an 95

N20°E structure along Mt. Rajabasa – Sebuku – Sibesi – Panaitan islands (Fig. 1). The 96

volcanism of Anak Krakatau is formed due to the subduction of the Indo-Australian plate 97

beneath the Eurasian plate along Sumatran – Java islands, as indicated by shear wave seismic 98

datasets (Harjono et al. 1989). The transition of oblique and almost orthogonal subduction 99

between Sumatra and Java islands causes extension, rifting, and faulting around the Sunda Strait 100

Page 7: Morphological Changes of Anak Krakatau after the 22

that may influence magma migration of Anak Krakatau (Harjono et al. 1991). Petrological and 101

seismic studies suggest that Anak Krakatau has a shallow magma chamber complex at a depth of 102

2 – 8 km which may influence the eruption style of Anak Krakatau (Dahren et al. 2011; Gardner 103

et al. 2013; Jaxybulatov et al. 2011). 104

After the global catastrophic of the Krakatau eruption in 1883, the emerging of the Anak 105

Krakatau edifice was successfully captured in 1927 (Stehn 1929). The recent Anak Krakatau 106

location is controlled by the 1883 vent and conduit of the Krakatau volcano (Self and Rampino 107

1981). Since then, the morphological evolution of Anak Krakatau is well documented through 108

conventional sketched and topographic surveys between 1930 and 1990 (Decker and 109

Hadikusumo 1961; Zen 1969). During that period, the edifice of Anak Krakatau was subjected to 110

constructive and destructive phases. Morphological sketched between 1930 and 1935 111

documented an early reconstruction phase of the crater rim and lake at Anak Krakatau (Zen 112

1969). A large eruption in 1936 destroyed and removed volcanic materials at the crater lake, 113

which may indicate the first destructive phase (Zen 1969). Detail topographic surveys between 114

1950 and 1960 clearly recorded the reconstruction stage of the Anak Krakatau edifice due to 115

massive volcanic deposits of intermittent eruptions (Decker and Hadikusumo 1961). In 1952, a 116

crater lake formed with a diameter of ~300 m that delineated by the old rim with a maximum 117

elevation of 151.5 m. The intermittent eruption produced blocks – bombs, volcaniclastic, and 118

tephra were mainly deposited around the crater lake and formed a volcanic cone in 1960 (Decker 119

and Hadikusumo 1961). Then, the activities of Anak Krakatau between the 1970s and 1990s 120

were dominated by lava flows that mostly emplaced at the west – south flanks area and 121

pyroclastic deposits (Abdurrachman et al. 2018; Sutawidjaja 1997). Some of the 1992, 1993, and 122

1996 lava flows emplaced at the north of Anak Krakatau edifice (Sutawidjaja 1997; Sutawidjaja 123

2006). The reconstruction of Anak Krakatau continuously occurred and reached maximum 124

elevation at the crater rim up to ~300 m in 1996 (Sutawidjaja 1997). The type of eruptions were 125

Page 8: Morphological Changes of Anak Krakatau after the 22

then dominated by strombolian in 2000’s and prior to the 2018 flank collapsed event (Gardner et 126

al. 2013; Perttu et al. 2020). 127

Results 129

Morphological changes of Anak Krakatau between 2019 and 2020 130

High-resolution drone orthomosaic aerial images, sentinel 2A, and Pleiades satellite imageries 131

clearly observed morphological changes of Anak Krakatau between August 2019 and May 2020. 132

In August 2019, the edifice of Anak Krakatau was about 3 km2 above sea level with a crater lake 133

of 0.13 km2, and the diameter of the crater lake was about 430 m (Fig. 3a and b). Most of the 134

Anak Krakatau edifice was covered by the December 2018 eruptions material that eroded and 135

formed stream flows. Our high-resolution drone orthomosaic also observed altered rock and 136

some blocks – bombs deposit at the west part of the volcanic crater (Fig. 3b). During our 137

fieldwork in August 2019, we observed intermittent hydrothermal eruptions that ejected small-138

scale volcanic gas and mud around the crater lake (Fig. 4a and b). 139

In February 2020, changes were observed at the crater lake of Anak Krakatau (Fig. 3c and d). 140

Series of hydrothermal and/or phreatomagmatic eruptions between January and February 2020 141

produced volcaniclastic materials that mostly deposited around Anak Krakatau crater lake and 142

changed the morphology of the crater lake. The volcaniclastic materials covered around 0.08 km2 143

and reduce the diameter of the crater lake of Anak Krakatau from 430 to 213 m. The 144

volcaniclastic deposit formed such a small cone, as shown by our fieldwork photograph on 26 145

March and 15 August 2020 in Fig. 4c and d, respectively. The temperature of the active crater 146

lake is possibly high as it regularly releases hot steam as observed from field photograph (Fig. 147

4c). 148

The morphology of Anak Krakatau has dramatically changed due to large phreatomagmatic, 149

which was followed by an effusive eruption that occurred on 10 April 2020, as shown from 150

Page 9: Morphological Changes of Anak Krakatau after the 22

Pleiades satellite imagery and fieldwork photograph (Fig. 3e and 4d). By using supervised image 151

classification, we mapped tephra deposits that cover 0.815 km2 at the north – northwest flanks of 152

Anak Krakatau edifice (as indicated by the grey color at Fig. 3f). The eruption also produced a 153

lava flow that emplaced from the Anak Krakatau main conduit to the west flank up to 742 m 154

distance. The coverage area of the lava flow deposit is around 0.2 km2. About half of the lava 155

flow deposit has widened the Anak Krakatau edifice from 3 to 3.1 km2 above mean sea level. We 156

quantified the mean thickness of the lava flow is about ~50 m based on the fieldwork photograph 157

(Fig. 4 and 5) and estimate the bulk volume of lava flow deposit is ~11.2 × 106 m3. 158

159

Morphology and structure of lava flow 160

A combination of 4, 3, 1 on RGB bands of Pleiades high-resolution satellite imagery and field 161

photographs can provide detail morphology and structure of lava flow at Anak Krakatau (Fig. 4 162

and 5). The outer part of the lava flow is rough, blocky, and consists of large fragments with a 163

diameter >0.5 m (Fig. 4e and f). The lava flow surface and the fragments have red dominated 164

color which caused by oxidation processes during emplacement. Analysis of structural density 165

indicates two main compression areas with up to 4 structures/m2 located close to the west 166

shoreline and the main crater. While, the middle part of the lava flow is not highly fractured with 167

~2 structures/m2, which indicating an extension process (Fig. 4). 168

169

Discussion 170

Recent morphological changes of Anak Krakatau indicate a reconstruction phase after the 22 171

December flank collapsed (Darmawan et al., 2020). The reconstruction phase is strongly 172

controlled by hydrovolcanism activity between August 2019 and April 2020 and effusive 173

eruptions that occurred shortly after the phreatomagmatic event on 10 April 2020. 174

Hydrovolcanism is a volcanic process related to direct or indirect interaction between magma 175

Page 10: Morphological Changes of Anak Krakatau after the 22

and water that can trigger explosives to the non-explosive eruption (Németh and Kósik 2020; 176

Sheridan and Wohletz 1983). Here, we purpose three stages of hydrovolcanism processes at 177

Anak Krakatau that possibly occurred between 2019 and 2020 and changed the morphology of 178

Anak Krakatau (Fig. 6). 179

The first stage is intermittent small scale hydrothermal or phreatic eruptions. During our 180

fieldwork in August 2019, hydrothermal eruptions that produced mostly hot steam and a small 181

volume of mud (possibly pre-existing materials) frequently occurred for almost every hour with 182

different intensity as captured by our drone aerial and fieldwork image (Fig. 4 a and b). Similar 183

activity occurred at White Island volcano, New Zealand (Edwards et al. 2017). In 2013, when 184

hydrothermal or phreatic eruptions episode ejected steam-dominated and vertical mud materials 185

up to 50 m high, these eruptions were clearly documented by high-resolution photos and video 186

(Edwards et al. 2017). 187

The second stage is a transition of hydrothermal – phreatomagmatic eruptions between January 188

and February 2020 that produced a small volcanic cone. Since we lack information on juvenile 189

samples, it is difficult to conclude whether the eruptions were caused by direct or indirect contact 190

of magma–water interaction. However, the volume of ejected mud is much higher compared to 191

the 2019 hydrothermal activities, which may suggest an increase of thermal stress due to magma 192

ascending. Another evidence of magma ascending is the formation of a continuous water bubble. 193

On 30 March 2020, Bengkulu Natural Resource Conservation Agency observed large water 194

bubbles at the east part of Anak Krakatau edifice, which may indicate an active degassing 195

underwater fracture. These continuous water bubbles might be a strong precursor of the April 196

2020 phreatomagmatic eruption at Anak Krakatau as magma continuously rises. The magma 197

temperature may drop, cools, and releases some volatiles that causing intense degassing 198

(Burgisser and Degruyter 2015). 199

Page 11: Morphological Changes of Anak Krakatau after the 22

The third stage is a large explosive phreatomagmatic eruption that is followed by an effusive 200

eruption. The direct interaction of magma – water lake of Anak Krakatau removed pre-existing 201

unconsolidated volcanic materials and produced tephra deposit. The removal of volcanic 202

materials at the conduit may facilitate magma to ascend and produced blocky lava flow. 203

The emplacement of lava flow deposits at Anak Krakatau is strongly controlled by pre-existing 204

topography and its rheology. We overlaid the lava flow deposit on the pre-existing DEM and 205

observed that the lava flow came out from the 2020 crater lake (Fig. 7a). We infer that the 2020 206

crater lake is the main conduit at the current Anak Krakatau edifice as hydrothermal eruptions 207

were previously located in this area. The main flow of lava traveled to the west – southwest – 208

south direction and reached a topography barrier at the southwest area with a slope of up to 50°. 209

As the lava flow continuously occurred, some lava traveled to the southeast and form the first 210

lava levee (lava levee I in Fig. 7). Some mass of lava flow moved to the west (shoreline) 211

direction. Interaction between hot lava and seawater caused rapid cooling, solidified the lava, 212

halted the movement of the lava flow, and formed lava levee II. As the lava was solidified at the 213

shoreline and the volume of lava continuously pushed to the west, compression structure 214

occurred, and some lava migrates to the north and formed lava levee III. This migration caused 215

an extension zone, and therefore, the intensity of fractures is low. 216

217

Conclusion 218

Anak Krakatau is an active marine stratovolcano where its edifice consists of eruptions products 219

and frequently undergoes constructive – destructive phases. Recent morphological changes may 220

indicate a construction phase of the Anak Krakatau edifice due to hydrovolcanism and effusive 221

activities. The series of hydrovolcanism events that occurred between 2019 and early 2020 222

ejected mostly pre-existing of the 2018 volcanic materials that formed a small volcanic cone at 223

the Anak Krakatau crater lake. The phreatomagmatic and effusive events on 10 April 2020 224

Page 12: Morphological Changes of Anak Krakatau after the 22

dramatically changes the morphology of Anak Krakatau as a massive lava flow deposit with an 225

estimated thickness of 3 – 70 m reconstructed the west flank area and has extended the edifice of 226

Anak Krakatau ~0.1 km above mean sea level. The 2019 – 2020 activities of Anak Krakatau are 227

relevant to the historical events, where most of the eruption sites were mostly constrained at the 228

crater lake. Therefore, we infer that the 2019 crater lake is the main conduit of Anak Krakatau. 229

The 2019 crater lake is currently replaced by the massive deposit of lava flow which may change 230

the mechanism and type of eruption in the near future. 231

232

Data and Method 233

Drone photogrammetry data acquisition 234

We conducted UAV data acquisition in August 2019 or during summertime in Indonesia to 235

obtain the best visibility of Anak Krakatau. We used a DJI Mavic drone capable of flying up to 236

500 m above the ground and a maximum distance of 8 km. The diameter of the Anak Krakatau 237

edifice is about 2 km from east to west, and by setting the drone altitude up to ~350 m, we can 238

cover the whole edifice (see Fig. 2 for the coverage area of drone data acquisition). We obtained 239

about ~2,000 geotagged drone images that can be used to reconstruct high-resolution aerial 240

images orthomosaic and Digital Elevation Model. 241

242

Reconstructing high-resolution orthomosaic 243

The UAV images are processed using the Structure from Motion (SfM) technique (Szeliski 244

2010), which is implemented in agisoft photoscan software, to generate Digital Elevation Model 245

and Orthomosaic. We first imported all the drone images and ran image alignment function with 246

the highest accuracy, reference pair selection, and key point limit to 40,000. The image 247

alignment function reads the camera parameters, positions, and identifies the common points on 248

images, matches them, and results in a 3D sparse point cloud. The next step is generating a 3D 249

Page 13: Morphological Changes of Anak Krakatau after the 22

dense point cloud by set quality parameters to high and depth filtering to medium. This 250

parameter can sort out outliers and reduce computational time. The 3D dense point cloud data set 251

was then used as an input to generate a 3D mesh. The 3D mesh is necessary to reconstruct the 252

Digital Elevation Model of Anak Krakatau. Further processing, we applied a texture and a tiled 253

model to smooth the surface and to reconstruct a high-resolution orthomosaic of Anak Krakatau. 254

The drone aerial orthomosaic image has a resolution of 0.08 m that can clearly identify the 255

morphology of Anak Krakatau. 256

257

Satellite images dataset 258

We used two optical multispectral satellite images, Sentinel 2A and high-resolution Pleiades 259

satellite images. Sentinel 2A has 13 bands, a pixel resolution of ~10 m, and a revisit time of 10 260

days that can be used to observed large changes at Anak Krakatau. Sentinel 2A is freely 261

available and can be download at Sentinel open access data hub. While the Pleiades is a 262

commercial multispectral optical satellite constellation that can provide very high resolution (0.5 263

m) and can be used for the morphological analysis of Anak Krakatau post 10 April 2020 eruption 264

in further detail. The main obstacle of an optical satellite is the cloud that can reduce the 265

visibility of the Anak Krakatau edifice. However, we obtained a free cloud for sentinel 2A and 266

Pleiades satellite imagery that was acquired on 22 February and 30 May 2020, respectively for 267

morphological changes analysis. 268

269

Orthomosaic and satellite data analysis 270

High-resolution drone aerial orthomosaic, sentinel 2A, and Pleiades satellite images can provide 271

detailed morphology of Anak Krakatau edifice and lava flow deposits. We manually digitized the 272

morphological changes of coastline, crater lake, and lava flow at Anak Krakatau between 2019 273

and 2020 that clearly visible from aerial drone orthomosaic and satellite images. For the Pleiades 274

Page 14: Morphological Changes of Anak Krakatau after the 22

satellite image, we opened the image on arcmap and visualized it by a combination of RGB band 275

of 4, 3, 1 and alpha band of 1 to obtain the best visualization of the lava flow structure. We 276

manually digitized the clearly visible structures and generated a density of structural map to 277

further analyze the rheology behavior of lava flow at Anak Krakatau. 278

Moreover, we mapped tephra deposits due to the 10 April 2020 eruption. We firstly took some 279

samples pixel value on tephra deposit in Pleiades satellite image and automatically classified 280

them using supervised image classification in ArcMap software. This automatic supervised 281

classification can rapidly map the hazard zone due to volcanic eruptions. The classified raster 282

image was converted into a polygon dataset to estimate the deposit area of tephra due to the 10 283

April 2020 eruption at Anak Krakatau. 284
