Abstract

In 2014, Kelud, an active volcano in East Java, ejected ashes (hereafter termed KA; Kelud ash) that reportedly reached as far as Central Java and the Special Region of Yogyakarta (DIY). The KA deposits are observable in, among others, the coastal sand dune area in Parangtritis. Due to the active aeolian process, the KA layers can be found at different depths five years after the eruption. Thus, the KA can be used as a marker of the post-2014 aeolian activities at the Parangtritis dune, which was once classified as a degraded land and later recognized as a coastal geosite, ultimately allowing us to calculate the volume and sand transport rate. The research surveys performed at 25 points discovered volcanic ash layers at 1 cm to 26 cm below the surface. At some observed points, the ash deposits were found on the surface and continuously transported. This research observed an area of 60,000 m2 with an average of 8.5 cm thick sand layers lying above the KA layer. Based on the calculation, the total volume of the transported sand at the Parangtritis sand dune from 2014 to 2019 was approximately 5,100 m3. This volume is considerably small owing to various obstacles in the transport zones. Based on the five-year dynamic of the sand dune, this study suggested that restoration needs to be conducted immediately particularly in eliminating vegetation barriers to maintain the sediment balance (erosion-transport-sedimentation) of the coastal sand dune area.

Abstract

Indonesia has many cases of volcanic debris avalanche (VDA), which is fifty-four events from the inventory conducted by MacLeod (1989). However, data on the characteristics of VDA provided is limited, therefore it is necessary to develop detailed information related to these fifty-four cases. This study focuses on morphological and geological inventory of the VDA in Indonesia. Using the DEM database, morphological features were analyzed and four classes were determined, namely (1) volcanoes with horseshoe-shaped scar only; (2) volcanoes with no horseshoe-shaped scar, but has DAD (debris avalanche deposit); (3) volcanoes with no horseshoe-shaped scar, and no DAD; and (4) volcanoes with horseshoe-shaped scar and with DAD. Most of the volcanoes that have VDA are clustered in the first class. From the geological map, three main main pieces of information can be obtained: relative age, rocks/materials, and structure. Of fifty-four reported VDA events, the age of the rocks build the volcano that commonly ranges the Pliocene, Pleistocene, and Holocene. The composition material is relatively uniform, consisting of lava with basalt-andesite rock types. Scar structures are also delineated in some volcanoes. Based on these characterization results, its relationship with volcano types in Indonesia (e.g. type A, B, C) was analyzed to determine the potential for reoccurrence of VDA. Further analysis is proposed, along with a more comprehensive characterization of the VDA in Indonesia, particularly at the type A volcanoes, such as Dempo, Galunggung, Gede, Papandayan, Sundoro, and Raung.
