Abstract

This study aims to evaluate slope stability along the relocated road section of Bulango Ulu Dam, Bone Bolango Regency, Gorontalo Province. The research focuses on geological conditions, rock mass quality, and slope stability using Rock Mass Rating (RMR) and Slope Mass Rating (SMR) methods based on scanline mapping data. Field investigations were conducted on four slope segments (AP1–AP4) by measuring discontinuity characteristics, rock strength, spacing, and groundwater conditions.The results indicate that the rock mass quality of all slope segments falls into Class I–II of the RMR system, categorized as very good to good rock, with RMR values ranging from 70 to 83. SMR analysis shows that all slope segments belong to Class II, indicating stable slope conditions. Kinematic analysis reveals that the dominant potential failure mechanism is toppling failure, with probability of failure values ranging from 10.00% to 23.97%.Although the slopes are classified as stable, the presence of geological structures, particularly discontinuities, contributes to potential instability under certain conditions. Continuous monitoring is therefore recommended to mitigate future landslide risks. The findings provide important insights for slope stability evaluation and infrastructure safety planning in mountainous regions.

Abstract

One of the regions in Indonesia with potential laterite nickel deposits is North Morowali, where the MTosu Formation, composed of Cretaceous-aged ultramafic rocks, is found. This study aims to identify the distribution of laterite and nickel content using data from Hand Auger analysis. The methods used include field observations, Hand Auger sampling, and geochemical analysis through X-Ray Fluorescence (XRF). The research area features two main geomorphological units: structural steep hills and structural gentle hills. Its stratigraphy consists of lherzolite and serpentinite units. The dominant geological structure trends northeast-southwest, following a linear pattern. Laterite distribution in the area is controlled by topography. Nickel content is categorized into three zones: high, medium, and low. XRF analysis of Hand Auger samples indicates that high nickel concentrations are located in the southwest and extend northeast across the study area.

Abstract

This study examines the geomorphological characteristics of Tilangobula Village in East Suwawa District, Bone Bolango Regency, Gorontalo Province, Indonesia, located within the tectonically active Limboto Zone. Through integrated field observations and geospatial analysis—including topographic maps, slope gradients, and drainage patterns—the research identifies structural hills as the dominant geomorphological unit, covering 2.356 km² with elevations ranging from 200 to 600 meters above sea level. The area exhibits two distinct drainage patterns (parallel and trellis) and variable slope gradients (2–140%). Morphogenetic analysis reveals the landscape has been shaped by both endogenic processes (notably oblique faulting, specifically a Normal Left Slip Fault) and exogenic factors (erosion of diorite and quartz diorite intrusions). The lithology comprises intrusive igneous rocks (diorite and quartz diorite), with structural features such as shear joints and faults further influencing the terrain. The findings highlight the interplay between tectonic forces and surface processes in forming the region’s unique structural hills, characterized by V-shaped valleys and steep slopes. This study provides critical baseline data for understanding understudied tectonic landscapes in eastern Indonesia and supports applications in regional geological research and land-use planning. The results underscore the importance of integrating morphographic, morphometric, and morphogenetic analyses to decipher complex geomorphological evolution in tectonically active regions.

Abstract

This study was conducted in Kalasari Village, Salawati District, Sorong Regency, Southwest Papua, within the Contract of Work area of PT Megapura Prima Industri. The research integrated field geological observations, detailed lithological and outcrop descriptions, drill core logging and correlation, and laboratory proximate analysis to characterize coal occurrence and quality. Stratigraphic analysis indicates that the study area is composed of two principal lithological units: the Sele Claystone Unit, deposited in backswamp to swamp environments, and the Sele Sandstone Unit, representing floodplain facies. Borehole correlation reveals coal seam thicknesses ranging from 0.3 to 1.82 m, with a general westward thickening trend, reflecting microtopographic variation and peat stability during deposition. The roof and floor of the coal seams are dominantly claystone or clayey sandstone, indicating overbank flood sedimentation that facilitated peat preservation. Proximate analysis shows that the coal is low rank, characterized by calorific values of 3220–3619 kcal/kg (adb), low ash content (1.7–3.8%), very low sulfur content (0.2%), and high total moisture (32–37%). These characteristics are typical of freshwater swamp–backswamp facies within an upper delta plain depositional environment with limited clastic input. The relatively thin overburden further constrained coalification, resulting in low calorific values. Overall, the results demonstrate that coal distribution, seam thickness, and coal quality in the study area are strongly controlled by upper delta plain depositional dynamics, particularly swamp and backswamp facies that governed peat accumulation and preservation.
