One Decade of the “Lusi” Mud Volcano: Physical, Chemical, and Geological Dimensions
One Decade of the “Lusi” Mud Volcano: Physical, Chemical, and Geological Dimensions

Summary/Abstract: In this article, we have raised more recent phenomenon of mud volcano disaster since May 2006 until now in Sidoarjo, East Java- Indonesia. This rare occurrence has invited the public to enjoy, even for scientist as a mean of doing research or for public as a curiosity. A mud volcano is a geological formation created by the expulsion of pressurized gasses and mud from below the Earth’s crust. By using a systematic review process, the authors review the phenomena by using physical, chemical, and geological approaches. The review process comprises five phases: framing questions for a review, identifying relevant work, assessing the quality of studies, summarizing evidences, and interpreting the findings. The results show the physical and chemical dimensions of mud volcano and depict to what extent the physical and geological efforts to stop the disaster. In this study, there are some additional references and sources of new knowledge for scientists, citizens, and government.
