Indonesian Journal on Geoscience
The spirit to improve the journal to be more credible is increasing, and in 2012 it invited earth scientists in East and Southeast Asia as well as some western countries to join the journal for the editor positions in the Indonesia Journal of Geology. This is also to realize our present goal to internationalize the journal, The Indonesian Journal on Geoscience, which is open for papers of geology, geophysics, geochemistry, geodetics, geography, and soil science. This new born journal is expected to be published three times a year. As an international publication, of course it must all be written in an international language, in this case English. This adds difficulties to the effort to obtain good papers in English to publish although the credit points that an author will get are much higher. This Journal publishes 3 numbers per year at least 15 articles. It is a challenge for the management of the journal to remain survive and at the same time continuously maintain its quality and credibility in spite of those various constraints. Fortunately, this effort is strongly supported by the Geological Agency of Indonesia, as the publisher and which financially bear the journal. Last but not least the journal is also managed by senior geologist of various subdisciplines from various countries who are responsible for its quality.

Abstract

DOI: 10.17014/ijog.6.3.291-309The researched area is situated at Mount Rendingan and its surrounding area, Lampung Province, the southern part of Sumatra Island. It has a big potential of geothermal resource in line with a unique graben like bowl landform and geothermal surface manifestations. This research was carried out using remote sensing and field observation methods. The remote sensing method used topography and Shuttle Radar Topography Mission -Digital Elevation Model (SRTM-DEM) maps to analyze morphotectonic attributes, and the result was validated by morphotectonic data analysis from field observation. The purpose of this research is to evaluate the relation between morphotectonic and the appearances of geothermal surface manifestations. The interpretation of SRTM-DEM and topographic maps are supported by morphotectonic analyses,which indicate that the geothermal surface manifestations in this area are controlled by tectonic activity. It has various levels of lift which are shown by the values of valley height weight ratio (Vf) from 0.16 to 3.31 and the values of mountain front sinuosity (Smf) from 1.05 to 2.09. The morphotectonic characteristics can describe the geological structure activity levels which are reflected in the landform and its rock. The volcanic areas consist of igneous rocks which have small primary permeabilities. However, the development of geological structure can cause fractures in the rock that step in as a medium for passing geothermal fluid from depth to surface. They are found on the fault intersection zone system trending NE-SW and NW-SE, NNE-SSW and NNW-SSE, and WE system directions that indicate the fault system is correlated with the appearances of geothermal manifestations.

Abstract

DOI: 10.17014/ijog.6.3.311-325This paper presents the analytical results of a hundred and three striations from twenty-five survey locations along 3B highway in Xuat Hoa area, Bac Kan Province, Vietnam. The analytical results have determined four main phases of tectonic activity: NW−SE, E−W, NE−SW, and N−S. The first phase, the compressive stress state in the direction of NW−SE, caused the right lateral strike-slip motion of faults in the direction of E−W and the left lateral strike-slip motion of faults in the direction of N−S. The second phase, the compressive stress state in the direction of E−W, caused the left lateral strike-slip motion of faults in the direction of NW−SE and the right lateral strike-slip motion of faults in the direction of NE−SW. The third phase, the compressive stress state in the direction of NE−SW, caused the left lateral strike-slip motion of faults in the direction of E−W and the right lateral strike-slip motion of faults in the direction of N−S. The final phase, the compressive stress state in the direction of N−S, caused the left lateral strike-slip motion of faults in the direction of NE−SW and the right lateral strike-slip motion of faults in the direction of NW−SE. In addition, these stress states also created thrust faults in the directions of NE−SW, N−S, NW−SE, and E−W. Based on the analytical results, field investigation, and previous studies, this study proposes the order of the main compressive stress states in the directions of 1) NW−SW, 2) E−W, 3) NE−SW, and 4) N−S.

Abstract

DOI:10.17014/ijog.7.1.1-14The Slamet Volcano is an active volcano lying above a sedimentary rock substratum with three complexes of geothermal manifestations: Baturaden, Guci, and Paguyangan. In order to understand the characteristic and origin of the geothermal fluid related to the Slamet volcanic system emphasizing the identification of formation water influx represented by sea water signature in the thermal fluid, the water chemistry has been analyzed including stable isotopes of the hot springs, cold springs, shallow groundwater, rainwater, and river water surrounding the Slamet Volcano. The temperature of manifestations is in the range of 42 - 72°C, while the chloride concentration of the geothermal water is ranging from 17 to 754 mg/L. Specifically, the manifestations in Baturaden are distinctively featured by a huge travertine deposit. The values of Cl/B ratio and non-equilibrium state of the reactive elements indicate the existence of two main geothermal fluid flows discharging as hot springs at Baturaden, Paguyangan, and Guci complexes. Guci hot spring complex shows a similar characteristic as fumarole condensate water from the summit of Slamet Volcano which has been diluted by meteoric water. On the other hand, Baturaden hot spring complex appears to be affected not only by fumarole condensate, but also by the contribution of formation water from marine sedimentary rock. Meanwhile, Paguyangan hot spring is more likely as the outflow of a geothermal reservoir which has also been interacting with marine sedimentary rock. Furthermore, the signature of stable isotope of δ18O and δ2Η shows a significant portion of meteoric water contributing in the dilution of thermal waters.

Abstract

DOI:10.17014/ijog.7.1.25-39Thick Devonian carboniferous carbonates had been deposited in a shallow marine before they were uplifted by granitic intrusion during Triassic. This carbonate platform was selectively dolomitized along N-S oriented deep-seated fault that presented in the carbonate platform. Dolostones are characterized into significant matrix dolomites and several cement dolomites. In petrography point of view, matrix dolomites comprise very fine- to fine-crystalline nonplanar-anhedral dolomite (Dolo-I), fine- to coarse-crystalline nonplanar-anhedral to planar dolomite (Dolo-II), and fine- to medium-crystalline planar- dolomite (Dolo-III). Cement dolomites also consist of medium- to coarse-crystalline planar saddle dolomite (Dolo-IV) which halfway or totally fill disintegration vugs and breaks and coarse- to very coarse-crystalline nonplanar to planar dedolomite (Ded-I). Matrix dolomites predated cement dolomites, later infilled with sepiolite and calcite. The origins of matrix and cement dolomites and other diagenetic minerals are interpreted based on the petrography and isotopic signatures by a previous worker. Dolo-I dolomite was initiated by the early stage of dolomitization with the replacement of calcite by first driving fluids from low to high temperature of magmatic source. While Dolo-II dolomite was formed with slightly modified from Dolo-I and more Mg concentration inputs. Dolo-III dolomite was likely the consequence of hydrothermal fluids causing a brecciation textures as dolomite precipitated rapidly. Subsequently, in a high temperature, the Dolo-III dolomite was formed by precipitation of cement dolomite, hydrothermal fluids as evidenced by highly depleted values of isotopic δ18O. This study intends to provide useful information for understanding the dolomitization processes in alteration of hydrothermal related to Palaeozoic carbonates within Kinta Limestone.

Abstract

DOI:10.17014/ijog.7.1.41-49Raung is a basaltic-andesitic volcano with strombolian-type eruptive activity located in East Java Province, Indonesia. The seismic activity of this volcano increased on 11th November 2014 which was dominated by tremors. Due to the difficulty to distinguish the onset of body waves of tremor waveform, polarization and semblance methods were proposed and applied to locate the tremor source. The tremors recorded during November to December 2014 were analyzed. The results showed that the back-azimuth values obtained by the polarization method were around N 288o - 324o E in accordance with the direction of Raung summit, while the incidence angle ranged around N 81o - 89.3o E. The semblance method was performed on 2 x 2 km area around the summit. The result of the tremor source showed the distribution of epicentre extending N52o E to the northeast direction about ±2.1 km away from the Raung summit.

Abstract

DOI:10.17014/ijog.7.1.51-63The main purpose of this paper is to compare the performance of bivariate statistical models i.e. Frequency Ratio, Weight of Evidence, and Information Value for landslide susceptibility assessment. These models were applied in Cianjur Regency, West Java Province (Indonesia), in order to map the landslide susceptibility and to rate the importance of landslide causal factors. In the first stage, a landslide inventory map and the input layers of the landslide conditioning factors were prepared in the Geographic Information System (GIS) supported by field investigations and remote sensing data. The 298 landslides were randomly divided into two groups of modeling/training data (70%) and validation/test data sets (30%). The landslide conditioning factors considered for the studied area were slope angle, elevation, slope aspect, lithological unit, and land use. Subsequently, the thematic data layers of conditioning factors were integrated by frequency ratio (FR), weight of evidence (WofeE), and information value (IV). Model performance was tested with receiver operator characteristic analysis. The validation findings revealed that the three models showed promising results since the models gave good accuracy values. The success rates of FR, WofE, and IV models were 0.920, 0.926, and 0.930, while the prediction rates of the three models were 0.913, 0.912, and 0.895, respectively. However, the FR model was proved to be relatively superior in estimating landslide susceptibility throughout the studied area.

Abstract

DOI:10.17014/ijog.7.1.65-85Syn-sedimentary mafic volcanism has been identified within a rift setting (Eocene Tanjung Formation) in the Senakin Peninsula, southeast Kalimantan. Fine-grained, dark-grey basalt lava occurs and has prominent vertically oriented columnar jointing. Petrographically, the basalt is composed of small euhedral pyroxene, olivine, and lath-shaped plagioclase phenocrysts within a very fine-grained dark coloured groundmass. A volcaniclastic unit also occurs and in outcrop has sharp contacts with underlying and overlying sedimentary mudstone. The unit is composed of cm-scale clasts of fine-grained to glassy textured basalt with vesicles of varying size and abundance. Euhedral pyroxene phenocrysts are observed within the clasts, although some with overprinting alteration. Palagonite alteration on the margins of some clasts is noted and is indicative of mafic composition volcanic material that has come into contact with sea water. Presence of bivalve and coral fragments in sandstone and mudstone underlying the volcaniclastic unit indicates emplacement into a marine environment. Core description from 33 locations over an 18 km transect length show that both the basalt and volcaniclastic sediments are extensive throughout the east Senakin area. Lithological relationships and compositional similarities between the basalt and volcaniclastic sediment suggest they are related and were contemporaneous with sedimentation within the Tanjung Formation. It is proposed that the basalt unit is designated the Tanah Rata Basalt Member of the Tanjung Formation. If a wider distribution occurs for the volcaniclastic unit it is proposed that it is termed the Gumbil Volcaniclastic Member of the Tanjung Formation.

Abstract

DOI:10.17014/ijog.7.1.87-104Batujajar and its surrounding areas, situated in the west of the Bandung Basin, are geologically composed of various Tertiary rock formations with complex fold and fault systems. Springs and drilled wells in sandstone aquifers, tuffaceous sand, and tuffaceous breccias mark the development of their aquifer systems. This study aimed to determine the characteristics of the hydrogeochemistry by analyzing major ions and stable isotopes (18O and 2H) of thirty-four hydrogeological objects. The groundwater flow pattern in this area is controlled by northwest-southeast lineament, as indicated by the emergence of springs along the transition zone between areas with high and low lineament density. In order of dominance, the groundwater facies are as follows:Ca-Mg-HCO3>Ca-HCO3>Ca-Na-Mg-HCO3>Na-Ca-HCO3. Hydrochemical evolutions were detected from the change of cations from Ca2+ to Mg2+ and then Na+, and this is believed to be the product of cation exchange and dissolution of silicate minerals. However, evolutions toward anion changes were not apparent yet, meaning that HCO3- ions still prevail, or in other words the groundwater flow system is local. Nevertheless, the geological and hydrogeochemical analyses, along with the relative compositions of stable isotopes, revealed that the groundwater had three systems, namely shallow, intermediate, and deep groundwater flows; all of which were segmented in three subgroundwater basins (Sub-GWB). Aquifer systems with shallow to intermediate groundwater flow were found in Sub-GWB-A, Sub-GWB-B, and Sub-GWB-C, while the other ones with deep groundwater flow system were identified in Sub-GWB-B and Sub-GWB-C.Fracture system has an important role as a connector between recharge system in hilly areas and discharge system in plain areas.

Abstract

DOI:10.17014/ijog.7.2.105-119This paper comprehensively discusses overpressuring in the North Sumatra Basin by using wireline log, drilling events and parameters, and clay mineralogical data. It shows an interesting phenomenon related to overpressuring in this basin, i.e. strong log reversals indicating high overpressure, yet the mudweight used during drilling was relatively low, indicating low overpressure with no significant drilling events noted in the final well report.The result of the study shows that wireline log is the best parameter to imply overpressure magnitude. Regarding low mudweight in the strong log reversal zone, it would be elucidated that the drilling in that zone was in underbalance condition with respect to shale pressure, but not to sandstone pressure. The sandstone pressure is interpreted to be lower than shale pressure due to lateral drainage process. By applying the Eaton’s method, the estimated maximum overpressure magnitude in the Baong Formation is in the range of 1,594 - 3,185 psi. or equivalent to the mudweight of 1.61 - 192 g/cm3. The analysis of wireline log in combination with clay mineralogical data shows that there are two compaction lines in the studied area, i.e. smectitic and illitic compaction lines. The cross-plot of density and sonic logs in shale section suggest that the cause of overpressure was loading mechanism. The scanning electron microscope (SEM) image confirms that in overpressure zone, grain to grain contact is still able to be observed fairly well, inferring that loading mechanism is really the cause of overpressure in the studied area.
