Abstract

West Manokwari district in Manokwari Regency, West Papua province, Indonesia, is an area that continues to develop as part of the provincial capital region. Geologically, this area is located in three main formations: the Manokwari Formation, the Befoor Formation, and the Alluvium-littoral Formation at a depth radius between 0 and 500 meters. These formations comprise permeable sedimentary rocks that allow aquifer layers to develop. This study employed the geoelectric resistivity method, using both the Wenner and Schlumberger configurations, to identify the potential of groundwater in the West Manokwari district and address the scarcity of clean water sources for the local community. Subsurface interpretation was conducted on three measurement lines using forward modeling and inversion techniques, such as earth resistivity tomography and vertical electric sounding. The results of this interpretation indicate that the subsurface rock resistivity for the three lines is generally consistent and supports each other. The subsurface can be divided into four main layers: topsoil, limestone, sandstone, and bedrock. At the surface, rock resistivity is dominated by high values up to a depth of 6 m, after which it decreases to a depth of 30 m, which is considered a potential aquifer layer for exploration with medium to low resistivity. A bedrock layer with a resistivity of over 2000 Ωm is estimated to be at depths greater than 30 m. This study is expected to serve as a valuable resource for groundwater exploration in the West Manokwari district of West Papua Province.

Abstract

Research in Lewa District, East Sumba Regency, Indonesia, aimed to identify mineral potential and clarify subsurface geological structures through gravity gradient analysis and 3D inversion modeling. This approach addresses the limitations of field gravity data in the study area. The gravity gradient method was chosen to delineate geological structure boundaries (such as formation contacts and faults) compared to conventional gravity methods and for processing global satellite data (GGMplus and EGM2008 derivatives of ERTM 2160) with limited measured data. Gravity gradient analysis, including vertical, horizontal gradient, and tilt angle, was applied to Complete Bouguer Anomaly data using 2D Fourier transformation. Gravity field correction in Lewa showed positive anomalies from volcanic basement rocks. The gradient analysis sharpened boundaries of anomalies linked to geological structures. Zero contours of vertical gradient and tilt angle defined structural boundaries, while peaks of horizontal gradient and tilt angle indicated metallic mineral sources. 3D gravity inversion modeling (density 2.22–2.97 g/cm³) showed rock intrusions at 215 meters depth, interpreted as key to mineralization formation. The 2D sections (A-A', B-B', C-C') contain Masu Formation volcanic rocks, with fault zones filled by Waikabubak Formation sedimentary rocks and silicified rocks from magma intrusion alteration. Fault systems were identified through vertical gradient extremes, representing contact formation. Highly positive contour values on the tilt angle map confirm the influence of the volcanic basement rock. Metal mineralization is closely related to tectonic activity and alteration from massive igneous intrusion. The integration of gravity gradient analysis and 3D inversion modeling has proven to be effective in mapping geological structures and identifying mineral prospects using limited data. These findings provide insights into the subsurface geology of Lewa and provide a basis for further mineral exploration in East Sumba.
