| Summary: | Ijen Volcanic Complex which is located in Banyuwangi District, East Java,
Indonesia, consisting of a large caldera with an area of 252 km2, in which there
are more than 15 eruption centers. Among these eruption centers, Ijen Crater is
the only one which is still active. Sulphure gases go out of the Ijen Crater every
day and cause its lake water as one of the most acid in the world. Based on these
facts, the study of magmatism process and magma plumbing system beneath the
Ijen Crater becomes very interesting to be understood. In addition, this research
will be focused to see the role of rock magnetism in the identification of
magmatism process and magma plumbing system will be known. The samples
used were lava taken from 13 different locations and included in the Ijen Crater
eruption product in before 2,590 years ago. Geochemical measurements and rock
magnetism characteristics were performed to each sample to determine the whole
rock geochemistry, mineral geochemistry, magnetic susceptibility, remanent
magnetization, Curie temperature and hysteresis parameters. The results of the
Cpx-Opx Thermobarometry calculation showed that there are three magma
storage zones beneath Ijen Crater, on the bottom of the crust (25-28 km), the
middle of the crust (13-19 km), and the top of the crust ( ?10 km). Meanwhile, the
magmatism process occurred before the eruption of Ijen Crater before 2,590
years ago was also quite complex. The process included magma crystallization,
dissolution of plagioclase minerals, magma mixing, dynamic processes in the
magma storage due to convection currents, exsolution process of titanomagnetite,
degassing, and decompression processes. These results were obtained through
analysis of rock and mineral textures, geochemical data, as well as magnetic
mineral characteristics and rock magnetization parameters. Analysis of types of
magnetic mineral can help identifying magmatism process, while through
susceptibility analysis, it can be estimated the relative depth of the crystallization
process and the magma cooling rate. |
