Abstract
Soil volatile B and NH3 distribution in and around Rabaul caldera were evaluated by statistical graphical methods in order to investigate the distribution pattern of these volatile components prior the 1994 eruption of Tavurvur and Vulcan volcanoes. A very clear relationship was found between anomalous soil volatile B and this 1994 recent eruptive activity, but it was not observed from the analysis of the soil volatile NH3 distribution pattern
