Abstract

This study evaluates the geodiversity and geoheritage potential of basalt caves in Girimulyo Village, East Lampung, Indonesia, focusing on scientific, educational, tourism, and degradation risk values. Eight caves, including Pandan 1, Pandan 2, Kelelawar, and Kubah, were assessed through field observations, stakeholder interviews, and visual documentation. Pandan 1 Cave demonstrated the highest potential with an average score of 281.67, attributed to its unique geological features, including A’a lava, pahoehoe lava, and bread crust textures. Kelelawar Cave’s biodiversity, particularly its bat habitat, highlights its suitability for ecotourism, while Kubah Cave attracts adventure tourists with its columnar joint formations. Jagung Cave was identified as the most vulnerable to degradation, scoring 295 due to agricultural activities nearby. Conservation measures, visitor management, and sustainable tourism practices are essential to protect these geoheritage sites. Recommendations include developing visitor pathways, educational tours, and geotourism infrastructure. Limitations include reliance on visual assessments for degradation risk and limited cave access. Future research should include geotechnical analysis and explore the socio-economic impact of geotourism on local communities. The findings provide a framework for sustainable geotourism, balancing conservation, education, and tourism growth.

Abstract

The varied physiographic conditions of Lampung, from the west to the center and east, are the main factors in determining the geological field campus as a suitable learning environment. Gunung Kasih is one of the areas located on the Bukit Barisan Range, which has unique geological conditions with exposed basement rocks on the surface, making it a key factor in determining the geological field campus. However, the presence of crystalline basement rocks in Gunung Kasih prevents water from penetrating below the surface, thereby affecting the availability of groundwater for the local community. This study aims to identify aquifer layers around the Gunung Kasih area, using the Electrical Resistivity Tomography (ERT) method. Stratigraphically, based on field observations of rocks, the study area has lithology consisting of schist, marble, and sandstone in the western part, with a landscape characterised by structural hills. On the eastern side, volcanic deposits such as tuff and andesitic lava were found, with a denudational plain landscape. The geophysical survey was conducted using Wenner-Schlumberger configuration, with four survey lines oriented relatively west to east and north to south. Low resistivity anomalies are indicated by layers with resistivity values of 0–20.7 Ωm, while moderate-to-high anomalies have resistivity values of 29.9–89.9 Ωm. Very high resistivity anomalies are indicated by layers with resistivity values of 61.9–128 Ωm. In comparison with observations of rock outcrops and rock resistivity values, the aquifer layer is interpreted as being indicated by low resistivity anomalies in the relatively eastern part of the study area, which is near the surface to a depth of 15 metres and 25 metres. This layer is interpreted as tuffaceousrock comparable to the Hulusimpang Formation. The aquifer layer in the study area is interpreted as a shallow unconfined aquifer.

Abstract

The igneous rock of Manamas Formation in the Bihati River, Baun is one of the igneous rock outcrops in Timor Island that has not been widely studied based on its geochemical characteristic. This study aims to determine the genesis and processes that occur in the igneous rocks of the Manamas Formation within tectonic framework of Timor Island based on petrographic and geochemical analysis. X-ray Fluorescence (XRF) and Inductively Coupled Plasma-mass Spectrometery (ICP-MS) were used to determine the major elements, trace elements, and rare earth elements. The igneous rock of the Manamas Formation is a basalt intrusion with an alkaline affinity which shown an enrichment pattern of rare earth elements identical to Ocean Island Basalt (OIB). This study proves the existence of two different mechanisms of elemental enrichment, fluid related enrichment which related to the subduction activity of the Indian Ocean plate under the Banda Arc and also melt related enrichment which originated from the broken Indian Ocean plate which enters the OIB reservoir zone. The two different magmas then mix and underplating beneath the Banda Arc.
