Rogier Diederik Marius Verbeek (1845 - 1926) was a Dutch geologist who witnessed the eruption of the Krakatoa volcano in August 1883 from his home in Buitenzorg (now called Bogor) on the island of Java. From 1881 onwards he had been extensively studying the surrounding area, including southern Sumatra and Sunda Strait, but the sleeping volcano on the small island of Krakatoa did not seem dangerous to him and did not attract special attention then. After the eruption, he was asked by the government to collect all his findings in a report, which was published in Batavia (now Jakarta) in the autumn of 1884. This book was widely praised as the most authorative account of the events and it made him famous among earth scientists worldwide. Most of his conclusions still stand today.
