Abstract

Coal-fired power plants will emit several types of pollutants into the ambient air such as particulates and gases. One way to estimate the extent of the impact distribution of these pollutants is by using air quality modeling. The model used in this study is Calpuff, where this model is a non-steady state model and is influenced by variations in meteorological factors. The research location is PLTU Pangkalan Susu (2x200 MW) with SO2 and NO2 parameters. The purpose of this study was to calculate the concentrations of SO2 and NO2 with Calpuff, to validate modeling with field observations and to simulate the distribution of impacts. The results showed that the concentration of SO2 model obtained was 0.32 - 3.57 µg/m3 and NO2 was 0.51 - 5.15 µg/m3. Meanwhile, the observation results showed that the SO2 concentration was 27 - 39.88 µg/m3 and NO2 was 19.77 - 29.73 µg/m3. The simulation results of the distribution of SO2 and NO2 concentrations with the Calpuff model show that the impact distribution area is in the direction of the wind in the windrose and the affected area is in the southwest of the PLTU Pangkalan Susu. The results of model validation for the values ​​of d = 0.97, r = 0.616 - 0.665 and FB = -1.719 - -1.849, which means that the Calpuff model is quite valid and can be applied to predict the impact distribution area at PLTU Pangkalan Susu.

Abstract

Geography learning outcomes reflect the success of the learning process, particularly in the cognitive domain. However, many students struggle to understand abstract geographical concepts that are ideally taught in natural settings. This study aims to analyze the impact of augmented reality (AR) as a learning medium on geography learning outcomes. Using a quantitative meta-analysis method, 14 ISSN-certified national journal articles were reviewed. The results show that AR significantly enhances geography learning outcomes, with an average effect size of 0.34, indicating a strong positive impact. he results show that AR significantly enhances geography learning outcomes, with an average effect size of 0.34. According to Cohen's criteria, this value is categorized as a large effect, signifying that AR has a substantial and meaningful impact on students’ understanding of abstract geographical concepts. This effect size also surpasses that typically reported for conventional learning media, highlighting the innovative advantage of AR in geography education.

Abstract

PM2.5 pollution remains a critical environmental and public health issue in Jakarta, particularly during the dry season when unfavorable meteorological conditions enhance pollutant accumulation. This study examines the sources and transport pathways of PM2.5 during a severe pollution episode in July 2023, utilizing a combined Weather Research and Forecasting (WRF) and Hybrid Single-Particle Lagrangian Integrated Trajectory (HYSPLIT) modeling approach. Meteorological simulations were evaluated against surface observations, while backward trajectory analyses were conducted using multiple meteorological datasets to assess the consistency of transport. The results indicate that PM2.5 transport into Jakarta was predominantly influenced by air masses originating from the east and southeast, associated with industrial activities, power plants, and local fire events in surrounding regions. The presence of the southeast monsoon contributed to reduced atmospheric dispersion, resulting in prolonged pollutant residence times over the urban area. Despite some limitations in wind speed simulation, the WRF model adequately represented key meteorological parameters relevant to trajectory analysis. These findings highlight that Jakarta’s air pollution is driven by the combined effects of local emissions and regional transport processes, emphasizing the need for integrated air quality management strategies that extend beyond administrative boundaries.

Abstract

Mapping the distribution of mangrove forests is very important to determine the ecological changes, because mangroves protect biodiversity. Google Earth Engine (GEE) is a cloud-based platform that can analyse the distribution of mangrove forests in a complex and efficient manner. This study aims to analyse the use of Google Earth Engine in monitoring changes in the distribution of mangrove forests in Langkat Regency from 2018 to 2024. This study uses Sentinel-2A image data by applying NDVI computed on Google Earth Engine (GEE). The results of the study show that there has been a change in the distribution of mangrove forests from 27,095.4 Ha (2018) to 26,700.56 Ha (2021) and to 24,685.74 Ha (2024), which shows a reduction in distribution by 394.84 Ha (2018-2021) and 2,014.82 Ha (2021-2024). The largest change in distribution occurred in Pangkalan Susu District with a reduction in area of 307.99 Ha (2021) and 984.64 Ha (2024). Changes in the distribution of mangrove forests are caused by human activities in land clearing for ponds and oil palm plantations. The accuracy test of the Sentinel-2A image uses a Confusion Matrix with an Overall Accuracy of 85%. This study shows the potential that Google Earth Engine-based Citra Sentinel-2A data can be used to monitor the distribution of mangrove forests.
