Abstract

This study aims to analyze the geological conditions and landslide potential in Tolango Village, Anggrek District, North Gorontalo Regency. The research area is predominantly composed of two main lithological units: andesite and alluvial deposits. Field observations, petrographic analysis, and structural measurements were carried out to determine the geological characteristics. In addition, geoelectrical surveys using the Electrical Resistivity Tomography (ERT) method were conducted to interpret subsurface conditions. The results show that the upper layer (1.25–3.75 m) consists of clayey soil with low resistivity values (8.10–100 Ωm), while the lower layer (up to 15.9 m) is composed of andesite bedrock with higher resistivity values (101–7,600 Ωm). A potential slip surface was identified at the contact between these two layers, which becomes critical when water infiltration increases during the rainy season. Structural features such as thrust faults and joints were also observed, indicating tectonic influence on slope instability. Overall, the integration of geological and geophysical data confirms that the area is highly susceptible to landslides, particularly on steep slopes with impermeable clay-rich layers overlying resistant bedrock.

Abstract

The purpose this study is to assess geological conditions and levels of heavy metal pollution arround the artisanal gold mining area in East Tulabolo, East Suwawa District, Bone Bolango Regency, to understand its impact on the environment. This study includes geomorphological, stratighraphic, and geological structural analyses as well as measurements of heavy metal content such as arsenic (As), mercury (Hg), and lead (Pb) in river sediments. The metods used include field surveys, sampling, and laboratory analysis with ICP-MS. While pollution levels were analyzed using the Geoaccumulation Index (Igeo). The result showed that heavy metal concentrations exceeded safe limits, with the highest accumulation found in tailling sediments.. The Igeo analysis indicated a mild level of pollution due to the high concentration levels in the control area. This study emphasizes the need for sustainable waste management and ongoing contamination monitoring, including biota and groundwater sampling, to indetify risks of bioaccumulation and movement of contaminants into the wider eccosystem.
