Abstract

The research area is one of the islands in the District of Ponelo Islands, North Gorontalo Regency, Gorontalo Province. This study aims to determine the geological conditions of the area using the geological mapping method. The results showed that the geomorphology of the study area was divided into 3 units, namely Lava Flow Hills, Denudasional Hills, and Marin Plains. The stratigraphy of the research area is divided into 5 unofficial units sorted from oldest to youngest, namely Sandstone Unit, Conglomerate Unit, Porphyry Andesite Unit, Basalt Lava Flow Unit (Late Pliocene-Early Pleistocene), and Coastal Sediment Unit (Recent age). The geological structures observed were Shear Fracture, Tension, Sheeting Joint, and Columnar Joint. The geological history of the research area starts from the Late Pliocene to Early Pleistocene where the Lokodidi Formation and Pinogu Volcano Formation were formed, resulting in sandstone and conglomerate units (Lokodidi Formation), porphyry andesite units and basalt lava flow units (Pinogu Volcano Formation). Then the alluvial deposition process which is still ongoing today is the result of weathering of rocks in the research area.

Abstract

The Koninis region has diverse morphological features accompanied by the formation of nickel laterite deposits, leading to variations in the thickness of these deposits. The research location is administratively part of Banggai Regency, at coordinates 05°0'10" S and 122°15'40" E, within the concession area of PT. Koninis Fajar Mineral, covering approximately 138 hectares. This study aims to understand the morphological conditions and analyze the correlation between the thickness of nickel laterite deposits and the existing morphological conditions in the research area using methods such as geological mapping, petrographic analysis to determine the lithology of the research area, X-Ray Fluorescence (XRF) geochemical analysis to identify the nickel laterite ore zones, and studio analysis. The results indicate a range of laterite thicknesses, from a minimum of 6.5 meters to a maximum of 34 meters, with varying thicknesses within each zone. Analysis shows that thicker saprolite corresponds to higher nickel content, while thicker limonite correlates with lower nickel content.

Abstract

The research titled Geology of the Tihengo Area and Surroundings, Ponelo Kepulauan District, North Gorontalo Regency was conducted with the aim of understanding the geomorphological, stratigraphic, and geological structural conditions of the area using geological survey or mapping methods. Based on the research findings, the Tihengo area and its surroundings are located at an elevation of 0-125 meters above sea level, featuring varied morphology ranging from lowlands to steep hills. The region is predominantly comprised of residential, agricultural, and plantation lands, with vegetation generally classified as sparse to moderate. The relief in this area includes plains to steep hills with "V"-shaped valleys, formed due to the influence of both endogenous and exogenous geomorphological processes, including tectonic activity, magmatism, as well as ongoing erosion and sedimentation. Slope analysis shows a range of slopes from flat to very steep, with varying percentages of land area. The geomorphology of this area is divided into three main units: volcanic hill unit, denudational hill unit, and coastal plain unit. The stratigraphy of the research area consists of a sequence of andesite rocks, conglomerates, sandstones (coarse, medium, and fine), as well as coastal alluvial deposits. The geological structure is identified based on lineaments observed on DEMNAS imagery, with a general northeast-southwest orientation

Abstract

This study examines the geomorphological characteristics of the Juriya people's gold mining area, Gorontalo Regency, which includes topographic variations, slopes, river flow patterns, river stadia, and geomorphological units. The research area is divided into four main morphometry types: Lowland, Inland Lowland, Low Hill, and Hill. Slope analysis identifies zones ranging from flat to very steep, indicating different levels of slope stability and areas with a high risk of erosion. The results of the river flow pattern analysis showed the dominance of parallel and dendritic patterns, with a "V" shaped valley in the young stadia and a "U" in the adult stadia. The geomorphological units in the study area consist of the Volcanic Hills Unit, the Denudional Hills Unit, and the Aluvial Plains Unit, each of which has unique lithological and topographic characteristics and affects land use and environmental stability. This study shows that mining activities can increase the risk of erosion and land degradation in areas that are not protected by vegetation, especially on steep slopes. This research contributes by providing geomorphological data that can be used as a reference for sustainable environmental planning and management in the mining area. These results can strengthen efforts to mitigate environmental risks and support responsible land use in people's mining areas.

Abstract

This study investigates the geomorphological characteristics of the right bank area of the Bulango Ulu Dam in Gorontalo Province to support infrastructure planning, risk assessment, and sustainable land use. Employing integrated methods involving field observations and Digital Elevation Model (DEM) analysis, the research identifies two principal geomorphological units: Structural Low Hills (S1) and Fluvial Plains (F1). These units are shaped by the combined influence of endogenic processes, such as tectonic uplift and structural deformation, and exogenic processes, including fluvial erosion, sedimentation, and weathering. Lithological analysis revealed the presence of three main rock units diorite, granodiorite, and alluvial deposits each contributing to the area's terrain diversity and physical stability. Morphometric classification indicates that steep (30–70%) and very steep (70–140%) slopes dominate more than half of the study area, highlighting a high susceptibility to landslides and erosion hazards, particularly during peak rainfall seasons. The identification of a sub-dendritic drainage pattern suggests that geological structures play a vital role in directing surface runoff and sediment transport. The novelty of this research lies in its localized and detailed geomorphological assessment, which had not been previously conducted on the dam’s right bank. The findings have practical implications for dam safety, slope reinforcement strategies, and regional spatial planning under dynamic geological conditions.

Abstract

Dambalo Village, Tomilito District, North Gorontalo Regency, Gorontalo Province, is the designated research area listed in the administrative records. The main objectives of this research are to determine the surface and subsurface geology, understand the geological conditions of the research area, and analyze the cross-section of subsurface geological layers. The study employs the Schlumberger configuration geoelectric method to examine the subsurface geological cross-section. The researchers used a combination of geological surveys and subsurface data surveys, collecting data on surface geological features, outcrop observations, and resistivity measurements. The research area features a single landform unit, the denudational plain, and its stratigraphy includes a lithostratigraphic unit, Volcanic Breccia. The study area comprises four rock layers: the first layer is topsoil (passive clay), the second layer is sand, the third layer is breccia, and the fourth layer is sand. These conclusions are supported by geological and geoelectric data, demonstrating the effectiveness of integrating surface and subsurface surveys to provide a comprehensive understanding of the geological structure.
