  abstract = {{V}olcanic eruptions through crater lakes often generate lahars, causing loss of life and property. {O}n {A}mbae volcano, recent eruptive activities have rather tended to reduce the water volume in the crater lake ({L}ake {V}oui), in turn, reducing the chances for outburst floods. {L}ake {V}oui occupies a central position in the summit caldera and is well enclosed by the caldera relief. {E}ruptions with significantly higher magnitude than that of 1995 and 2005 are required for an outburst. {A} more probable scenario for lahar events is the overflow from {L}ake {M}anaro {L}akua bounded on the eastern side by the caldera wall. {M}orphology and bathymetry analysis have been used to identify the weakest point of the caldera rim from which water from {L}ake {M}anaro {L}akua may overflow to initiate lahars. {T}he 1916 disaster described on south-east {A}mbae was possibly triggered by such an outburst from {L}ake {M}anaro {L}akua. {T}aking into account the current level of {L}ake {M}anaro {L}akua well below a critical overflow point, and the apparently low potential of {L}ake {V}oui eruptions to trigger lahars, the {A}mbae summit lakes may not be directly responsible for numerous lahar deposits identified around the {I}sland.},
