  abstract = {{A}mbae (also known as {A}oba), is a 38 x 16 km(2) lozenge-shaped island volcano with a coastal population of around 10000. {A}t the summit of the volcano is lake {V}oui - one of the largest active crater lakes worldwide, with 40 x 10(6)m(3) of acidic water perched 1400 mas.l. {A}fter more than 300 years of dormancy, {A}mbae volcano reawakened with phreatic eruptions through {V}oui in 1995, and culminating in a series of surtseyan eruptions in 2005, followed by a rapid and spectacular colour change of the lake from light blue to red in 2006. {I}ntegrating lake water chemistry with new measurements of {SO}2 emissions from the volcano during the 2005-2006 eruptive period helps to explain the unusual and spectacular volcanic activity of {A}mbae - initially, a degassed magma approached the lake bed and triggered the surtseyan eruption. {D}epressurization of the conduit facilitated ascent of volatile-rich magma from the deeper plumbing system. {T}he construction of a cone during eruption and the high degassing destabilised the equilibrium of lake stratification leading to a limnic event and subsequently the spectacular colour change.},
