Below is a summary of eruption dates and Volcanic Explosivity Indices (VEI).

The following references are the sources used for data regarding this volcano. References are linked directly to our volcano data file. Discussion of another volcano or eruption (sometimes far from the one that is the subject of the manuscript) may produce a citation that is not at all apparent from the title. Additional discussion of data sources can be found under Volcano Data Criteria.

Kawah Kamojang, the first developed geothermal field in Indonesia, is located 7 km WNW of the historically active Guntur volcano within the Pleistocene Pangkalan caldera. Kawah Kamojang was included in the Catalog of Active Volcanoes of the World (Neumann van Padang 1951) based on its geothermal activity. The 1.2 by 0.7 km thermal area consists of fumaroles, steaming ground, hot lakes, mud pots, and hydrothermally altered ground. The field is located along a WSW-ENE-trending Quaternary volcanic chain that includes Gunung Rakutak, the Ciharus, Pangkalan, and Gandapura complexes, Gunung Masigit, and Gunung Guntur. This chain is progressively younger to the ENE. Kawah Kamojang is associated with the Pangkalan and Gandapura volcanic centers, along the Kendeng fault, which extends SW to the Darajat geothermal field.
