Abstract

Stiva Cave is an underwater cave (15,3 m below recent sea level), which located in Nusa Penida, Bali, Indonesia. Nusa Penida is a Karst landscape island in southern Bali Island. No many underwater caves are known and explored in this area, Stiva Cave is a first underwater cave which explored and discovered in Nusa Penida area. In this cave we found a number of fossils that we identified as vertebrate fossil and unique process that very potential for geotourism, especially for fun diving tourism. We mapped entire cave tunnel and measure a safety and risk for scuba diving, then we identified the fossil. At the result, there a several risk that need to be aware and several safety procedures that must be allow for observer. In other way, we found many similar fossils that and it spread in different tunnel that very potential for education in geotourism. We suggest that this cave is a shelter for hominid species when Last Glacial Maximum happens, before 21.000 years ago

Abstract

Samosir is the islands that emerge and standing upon on Toba Caldera after it’s the last eruption at 74.000 years ago. Samosir Island known as the caldera floor that uplifts parallel with Toba’s caldera flooding. In this study, we have observed an outcrop in Tumutuk, Samosir Island that hypothesized as a lacustrine deposit, and we found a paleosoil layer that might give more answers about the geological process in this area at the past time. Based on this outcrop, we described it, followed to measure its stratigraphy section, and took representative samples from the paleosoil layer, then observed the samples under the stereo-microscope as polish rock section, in normal light & negative images. As the result we identify several features of paleosoil & its sedimentary grain that shown this paleosoil layer, two events of the volcanoclastic deposits flown, and exposed two-time, and forming soil, it may form in the shallow swamp in a lacustrine environment, coincide with caldera flooding and caldera floor uplift event.

Abstract

Locating geodiversity hotspots across large areas poses a challenge for further geopark development in Indonesia, especially on Lombok Island, which spans 5,435 km². A geodiversity hotspot is an area rich in unique geological features that need to be determined. Therefore, this study's objective is to track and assess the potential of geodiversity on Lombok Island. The methods employed a grid-based spatial indexing method to pinpoint potential geodiversity hotspots in Lombok. The entire island was covered using 238 grids of 5×5 km² for this study. The technique applied these equal weight parameters: relative drainage density (20%), diversity of topographical slope (20%), elevation (20%), diversity of geological formation (20%), and soil characteristics (20%). The identified geodiversity hotspots were validated through ground checking. The results show significant geodiversity hotspots: Gangga (116°12'13.122"E;8°21'24.154"S), Sikur (116°24'32.015"E;8°29'23.597"S), Bayan (116°32'33.211"E;8°16'22.39"S), Sembalun (116°29'18.063"E;8°23'22.156"S), Sambelia (116°35'40.856"E;8°24'1.371"S), and Gerung-Kuripan (116°8'20.085"E;8°41'46.513"S). These hotspots showcase a range of lithologies from the Oligo-Miocene to the Plio-Pleistocene, along with terrestrial and marine fossils, minerals, geothermal activities associated with the Rinjani Volcano, and diverse soil types that support rich biodiversity. The dense drainage systems in these regions create stunning waterfalls and distinct elevational ecosystems. Tourism is primarily concentrated in well-known sites like Sembalun and Gerung-Kuripan, while lesser-known areas such as Sambelia, Gangga, Sikur, and Bayan remain underexplored. The natural drainage systems in these hotspots play a crucial role in hydrology and contribute to the beautiful landscapes. This study concludes that Lombok Island has six significant geodiversity hotspots, which hold geological importance for supporting the geoheritage of the Rinjani-Lombok UNESCO Global Geopark. The findings contribute to promoting local development by integrating cultural aspects and ensuring sustainability in line with global sustainable development goals. Additionally, the study provides new insights into the geotourism potential that can support sustainable development within the Rinjani-Lombok UNESCO Global Geopark.
