Abstract

Kabawetan is located in the subduction zone of the magmatic arc in the Indonesian tectonic system. The geothermal energy potential in this region is closely tied to volcanic activity, which is prevalent along the Ring of Fire on the island of Sumatra. This study aims to identify the distribution of subsurface resistivity values related to geothermal potential in the Kabawetan Region. To achieve this, the magnetotelluric (MT) method is used, utilizing electrical and magnetic sensors. Data were collected using two horizontal electrical sensors (Ex, Ey) and three magnetic sensors, including two horizontal sensors (Hx, Hy) and one vertical sensor (Hz). Measurements using the magnetotelluric method can be used to determine the subsurface rock layers based on resistivity values. The results of data processing yield a 2D cross-section of the resistivity value, which characterizes the potential for geothermal energy. This study used four measurement points to analyze resistivity variations and determine geothermal potential. Field measurement data were processed using MAPROS software, and a 2D cross-section model was created using ZONDMT2D. The results showed that resistivity values of 20-60 m, thought to be impermeable overburden, were at depths of 0-1.5 km and 2.5-4 km, resistivity values of 0.54-1 m indicated permeable reservoirs at depths of 1.5-2.5 km, and resistivity values of 290-550 m indicated geothermal rocks at depths of 4-10 km. The findings of this research are expected to enhance the understanding of geothermal energy as a renewable resource, thereby supporting the Sustainable Development program.

Abstract

This research aimed to accurately relocate the hypocenter of earthquakes in the Mentawai region to enhance precision in hypocenter determination. The arrival time data used were secondary data recorded in the seiscomp4 software at BMKG Class I Padang Panjang. The dataset comprised 66,979 arrival time data point form 2,380 earthquakes that occurred between September 2023 and September 2024. The Double-difference method, utilizing the Crust 2.0 velocity models, was employed for the relocation process. This method evaluated two hypocenters using a single recording station, provided that the distance between the hypocenters was less than the distance to the recording station. The HypoDD program was used for data processing. The relocation results indicated that the hypocenter had shifted and exhibited an increasing tendency toward cluster formation. The hypocenter depth was adjusted from an initial average of approximately 41.05 km to 51.05 km. This shift suggested am improvement in the quality of residual distribution. The enhancement of earthquake hypocenter resolution supported disaster mitigation by accelerating early warnings, improving construction safety in earthquake-prone areas, and optimizing emergency response. The relocation results in the Mentawai region identified 89 earthquake hypocenter points out of the 94 points recorded before relocation.

Abstract

This research was conducted in Pondok Kelapa Subdistrict, Central Bengkulu Regency, to analyze subsurface characteristics using microtremor data and the Horizontal-to-Vertical Spectral Ratio (HVSR) method. The research compared DFA (Diffuse Field Assumption) and Geopsy approach. In this study, 40 points were measured with a distance between points ranging from 200 to 300 meters. The data were processed using Terraware-HV and Geopsy software with a Monte Carlo approach to model the 3D subsurface structure. Results show that the dominant frequencies range from 0.64 to 8.19 Hz, with high amplification zones between 1.92 and 7.72 concentrated in areas of loose soil, indicating their high seismic susceptibility. Vs30 values range from 55 to 465 m/s, reflecting the dominance of soft to medium materials, such as clay, gravel, sand, and soft rock at specific depths. 3D modeling revealed a heterogeneous distribution of subsurface materials, with high amplification zones requiring special mitigation. This study provides important insights for seismic risk zoning, disaster mitigation, and earthquake-resistant structure design, and supports sustainable development planning in earthquake-prone areas. The results are expected to serve as a reference in spatial management based on earthquake risk mitigation.
