Just two years before, Verbeek had done research in the area. Living in Buitenzorg on Java, he was a direct witness to the eruption. In the BBC docudrama Krakatoa: The Last Days, he is the protagonist and was portrayed by Kevin McMonagle. In 1909, he obtained an honorary doctorate of Delft University of Technology. He was an honorary member of the Koninklijk Nederlands Geologisch Mijnbouwkundig Genootschap and a member of the Maatschappij der Nederlandsche Letterkunde.
The following are some of Verbeek's other writings: Topographische en geologische Beschrijving van een Deel van Sumatra's Westkust, Batavia, 1883.
