Abstract

Geothermal energy is a viable alternative energy source, particularly in Indonesia. This study was conducted at Ie Seu’um, Mount Seulawah Agam, which is a potential site for a geothermal power plant with an estimated electrical output of 150 megawatts. The objective of this study was to analyze and construct a digital elevation model (DEM) map of the geothermal manifestations. We analyzed water temperature, FLIR (Forward Looking Infrared) temperature, and temperature data from Landsat 8 satellite imagery. To map the heat signature of geothermal features, we utilized the DJI Phantom 4 Standard equipped with the FLIR One Gen 2 sensor. Additionally, we used the Milwaukee Mi306 to calculate the water temperature. Each test was conducted three times to obtain an optimal average level of accuracy. The DEM map was created to assess the level of safety in geothermal manifestation exploration. Elevation and slope values were analyzed to generate a 3D map display, providing a clearer image of the research site. In conclusion, drones prove to be an excellent method for ensuring the safety of exploration in geothermal manifestation areas.

Abstract

Urban areas worldwide grapple with environmental challenges, notably air pollution. DKI Jakarta, Indonesia's capital city, is emblematic of this struggle, where rapid urbanization contributes to increased pollutants. This study employed the CatBoost machine learning algorithm, known for its resistance to overfitting and capability to handle missing data, to predict urban air quality based on pollutant levels from 2010 to 2021. The dataset, sourced from Jakarta's air quality monitoring stations, includes pollutants such as PM10, SO2, CO, O3, and NO2. After preprocessing, we used 80% of the data for training and 20% for testing. The model displayed high accuracy (0.9781), precision (0.9722), and recall (0.9728). The feature importance chart revealed O3 (Ozone) as the top influencer of air quality predictions, followed by PM10. Our findings highlight the dominant pollutants affecting urban air quality in Jakarta, Indonesia and emphasizing the need for targeted strategies to reduce their concentrations and ensure a cleaner and healthier urban environment.

Abstract

Geochemical analysis is a critical tool in geothermal exploration, providing valuable insights into reservoir characteristics. However, obtaining accurate and reliable geochemical data requires rigorous validation techniques. This review examines key factors affecting the accuracy of geochemical data and discusses best practices for ensuring quality. Proper sampling methods, including selection of representative locations, use of appropriate equipment, and adherence to robust protocols for sample collection, filtration, preservation, and storage, are essential for maintaining integrity. Analytical techniques must be carefully selected, with regular calibration and standardization of instruments using certified reference materials. Implementing comprehensive quality assurance and quality control procedures, such as analyzing blanks, duplicates, and spike samples, helps monitor precision and accuracy. Data interpretation should consider the complexities of the geological and hydrological settings, integrating multiple lines of evidence. By following established guidelines and continuously updating methods based on emerging technologies and inter-laboratory comparisons, geothermal teams can optimize the reliability of their geochemical data. Accurate and precise geochemical information, when combined with geological, geophysical, and hydrological data, enables informed decision-making and enhances the success of geothermal projects. As geothermal energy gains importance in the transition to sustainable resources, ensuring the accuracy of geochemical analysis will be crucial for effective exploration and development.

Abstract

Highland agricultural landscapes are sensitive to environmental variation, particularly in regions like the Gayo Highlands of Aceh, Indonesia, where Arabica coffee (Coffea arabica L.) is a major crop. While parasitic nematodes are known to affect crop health and soil ecosystems, little is known about how their abundance and distribution vary with elevation in tropical coffee systems. The Gayo Highlands, despite their significant contribution to national coffee production, have been understudied in terms of soil biodiversity and nematode-related threats. To address this knowledge gap, we assessed the composition and abundance of parasitic nematodes in coffee plantations across three elevation zones: 800–1000 m, 1001–1200 m, and 1201–1400 m above sea level. We collected soil and root samples from symptomatic coffee plants, extracted nematodes using the Baermann funnel method, and identified them to the genus level. The study found three genera: Pratylenchus, Meloidogyne, and Rotylenchus. Pratylenchus was the most abundant, particularly at 800–1,000 m (34 individuals/10 ml), while the highest total nematode abundance occurred at 1,001–1,200 m (7.2 ± 1.44 individuals/10 ml). Statistical analysis showed significant differences in nematode abundance between elevation zones. These results indicate that elevation influences nematode populations, likely through environmental factors such as temperature, soil moisture, and pH. Understanding these patterns is important for developing site-specific strategies for pest management and maintaining soil health in highland coffee systems.

Abstract

Geothermal ecosystems are defined by extreme environmental conditions, such as elevated temperatures, high concentrations of toxic chemicals, and fluctuations in abiotic stressors, which shape plant survival and adaptation. These unique ecosystems, found across various geothermal regions globally, support specialized plant communities that have developed distinctive morphological, physiological, and ecological adaptations. Indonesia, located on the Pacific Ring of Fire, is one of the world’s richest geothermal nations, offering an important yet underexplored context for studying vegetation in geothermal zones. This review examines the environmental conditions of geothermal ecosystems, the adaptive strategies of vegetation, and patterns of plant diversity within Indonesian geothermal fields. It also explores ecological succession, community dynamics, and the potential use of geothermal vegetation as environmental indicators for biomonitoring. Despite growing interest, significant research gaps remain, particularly in long-term monitoring and the integration of molecular-level studies. Addressing these gaps is essential for enhancing scientific understanding and informing conservation and sustainable geothermal energy development in tropical regions. This review highlights the ecological significance of geothermal vegetation and underscores the need for interdisciplinary research to support both biodiversity preservation and responsible energy exploitation.

Abstract

Coffee leaf rust (CLR), caused by Hemileia vastatrix, remains one of the most damaging diseases affecting Arabica coffee worldwide. Understanding how environmental gradients influence CLR development is critical for sustainable management in tropical highland systems. This study examined the influence of altitude on CLR incidence and severity across five elevation ranges (800–1800 masl) in Arabica coffee plantations of Aceh Tengah, Indonesia. Field assessments were conducted on 25 farms using a standardized sampling layout and severity scoring scale. Analysis of variance (ANOVA) revealed that altitude had no significant effect on disease incidence (F = 0.14 < F0.05 = 3.01), which remained uniformly high across all sites (>75%), but significantly affected disease severity (F = 3.34 > F0.05 = 3.01). The highest mean severity (51.88%) occurred at 1600–1800 masl, differing significantly from lower elevations. These findings suggest that while CLR infection frequency is widespread, environmental conditions at higher altitudes favor greater lesion expansion and disease development. The results highlight the importance of considering local microclimatic variability in disease risk assessment and adaptive management. Further studies integrating microclimatic and agronomic measurements are needed to strengthen causal understanding and support environmentally based strategies for sustainable Arabica coffee production.
