Abstract

This study employs integrated geophysical methods to analyze the spatial distribution and subsurface geometry of andesitic rock formations in the Mujil Hill area, Kulon Progo, Yogyakarta. Electrical resistivity imaging (ERI), using a dipole-dipole configuration, was conducted to identify high-resistivity zones (>1000 Ωm), which are interpreted as fresh andesitic intrusions. These zones are consistently found at an average depth of 10 meters, embedded within moderately resistive volcanic breccia. Near-surface layers with low resistivity values (<100 Ωm) are associated with weathered volcanic deposits or unconsolidated soil. To enhance subsurface structural interpretation, resistivity data were complemented with gravity modeling, providing a more comprehensive geological assessment. The results confirm the lateral continuity and shallow emplacement of andesite bodies, highlighting their potential as a local source of construction material. This integrated geophysical approach supports sustainable mineral resource development and aligns with the objectives of the regional economic empowerment program, contributing to the responsible utilization of local geological resources.

Abstract

Inadequate mining management can harm the surrounding environment, including runoff that transports materials from mining sites to bodies of water or the sea. To prevent environmental damage, it is essential to implement mitigation measures in the mining area, such as constructing settling ponds. The research aims to understand the hydrological cycle in the context of nickel mining and develop strategies to mitigate environmental damage caused by mining activities. By examining rainfall data and its effects on mine drainage, the study seeks to provide insights into effective water management practices that can minimize the negative impacts of nickel mining on the environment. The data used is the value of rainfall for 10 years (2008 – 2017). The analysis was carried out on rainfall, runoff water discharge, and the rain catchment area. The results showed that the hydrological risk was 95.76% for the 10-year return period, the average rainfall was 119.84 mm, the designed rainfall was 175.85 mm, and the rain intensity was 38.41 mm/hour. The total discharge of runoff water in the north mine is 13.39 m3/sec, the middle is 25.34 m3/sec and the south is 11.02 m3/sec. The settling pond is designed in three working areas, namely the northern (991.72 m2), central (1,877.33 m2), and southern mining (816.241 m2) areas.

Abstract

Boron (B), Lithium (L), and Chlorine (Cl) are valuable indicators in geothermal detection due to their unique properties and behavior in hydrothermal systems. Volcanic hot springs are generally believed to originate from meteoric circulation or buried seawater and are controlled by equilibrium exchange with magmatic rocks at high temperatures. In this study, we report the B-Li-Cl geochemical characteristics of Tawau hot springs, in the forearc region of Malaysia. The data has been collected from previous studies that analyzed 8 water samples to determine the levels of 10 dissolved elements or components. We performed data correlation analyses to infer the source materials and origins of the hot springs. In addition, we performed numerical modeling of oxygen and hydrogen isotope fractionation to examine the composition of derived fluids as possible candidates of geofluids. The results suggest that Tawau geothermal originated from deep seawater due to subduction before undergoing magmatisation and alteration processes. This interpretation result has a positive correlation with Li and boron. In addition, the geological conditions in the Sabah region, which has subduction zones from two directions, cause a high probability of seawater or marine sediment contribution into the reservoir before finally coming out in the form of a geothermal fluid phase.

Abstract

Previous studies have revealed significant hydrothermal alterations within the Beruang Kanan Non-Volcanic Area, Central Kalimantan, Indonesia, resulting in extensive ore mineralizations. This study aims to examine the effects of hydrothermal processes on rock alteration, delineate alteration zones, and establish their relationship to metal mineralization. The research area, situated in the Tumbang Miri district of Gunung Mas regency, forms part of the Corrugated Hills Geomorphological Unit and is traversed by the Schwaner Mountains, with elevations ranging from approximately 50 to 400 meters. Stratigraphic analysis identifies three primary rock units, ordered from oldest to youngest: the Tuffaceous Sandstone Unit, the Dacitic Tuff Unit, and the Andesite Unit. Hydrothermal alterations have resulted in three distinct alteration zones sericitic, argillic, and propylitic characterized by secondary mineral assemblages. This study provides a comprehensive framework for understanding the geological and mineralization dynamics of non-volcanic hydrothermal systems in Central Kalimantan, Indonesia

Abstract

Increasing waste production worldwide has become a serious environmental and social problem. Waste thrown into traditional landfills can pollute land and water, cause public health problems, and produce greenhouse gas emissions.  To overcome the issues above, in this research, a waste sorting machine will be designed that can sort organic and inorganic waste. This sorting is done automatically, a person only needs to put the waste into the machine, and then the waste will be separated according to its category.  The organic and inorganic waste sorting system consists of 5 sub-systems.  They are metal waste, glass waste, dry waste, plastic waste, and wet waste sorting.  The results of this study can produce a success rate of 66.7% in detecting the occupancy of the trash bin, 70% in sorting metal waste, and 44.4% in sorting glass waste.  The success rate in sorting wet waste is 40%, while in sorting plastic waste is 70%, and in dry waste is 90%.

Abstract

Bioplastics are renewable materials capable of natural degradation and can be synthesized using bio-organic compounds such as cellulose, chitosan, carboxymethyl cellulose (CMC), and glycerol. Cassava peels, an agricultural byproduct, are a rich source of starch and cellulose, making them a promising raw material for bioplastic production. This study aims to fabricate and characterize chitosan-based bioplastic films using cassava peel starch, with a focus on optimizing their mechanical and biodegradation properties. Bioplastic films were prepared by combining cassava peel starch, chitosan, CMC, and glycerol, with chitosan concentrations varied at 45% and 75%. The films were evaluated for surface morphology using Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM), tensile strength, elongation at break, water absorption capacity, and biodegradability. SEM analysis revealed that chitosan concentration significantly influenced the film morphology, which in turn affected mechanical and swelling properties. The highest tensile strength (0.07 MPa) and elongation (22.5%) were observed in films with 75% chitosan. Water absorption peaked at 93.32% for the same formulation. Biodegradability tests showed complete degradation (100%) within 12 days for films with 45% chitosan. These findings demonstrate that cassava peel starch combined with chitosan can produce biodegradable films with tunable properties, offering a sustainable alternative for packaging and other applications.

Abstract

Urban areas in Jakarta face significant pressure on clean water resources due to increasing population and anthropogenic activities. This research aims to conduct biomonitoring of the Situ Bambon Ciracas ecosystem, East Jakarta, by analyzing water quality and the community structure of macrozoobenthos, phytoplankton, and zooplankton as bioindicators. A descriptive quantitative method was used, involving measurements of water physical-chemical parameters (TDS, TSS, pH, BOD, COD, Total-P) and identification of aquatic biota. The results indicate that the water quality of Situ Bambon Ciracas is lightly to moderately polluted, dominated by organic compounds. BOD (5−34.67 mg/L) and COD (17.05−193.56 mg/L) values consistently exceeded the Class 3 water quality standards, and TDS showed an increasing trend. The biota community structure reflects these conditions: macrozoobenthos showed moderate diversity (H′=1.2, E=0.6). Phytoplankton (H′=3.12−3.2, E=0.74−0.76) and zooplankton (H′=2.11−2.16, E=0.76−1.95) showed high diversity and evenness, but were dominated by bioindicator species tolerant to organic pollution (e.g., Oscillatoria sp., Nitzschia sp., Colpoda sp., Closterium sp.). The positive correlation between the abundance of these bioindicator species and high BOD and COD confirms organic waste as the main driver of ecological change. In conclusion, the Situ Bambon Ciracas ecosystem is under significant anthropogenic pressure. The dominance of pollution-tolerant species, despite existing diversity, highlights the urgency of comprehensive management and restoration efforts to maintain the sustainability of this urban lake.

Abstract

Efficient water management is essential for sustaining agricultural productivity, particularly in regions supported by technical irrigation systems such as the Way Bungur Irrigation Area in Pringsewu Regency, Indonesia. Although water availability in this region is generally adequate, its utilization remains inefficient due to cropping schedules that are not aligned with seasonal hydrological conditions, especially during the dry season. This study evaluates irrigation water requirements based on crop types and the official Cropping Pattern Plan (SK RTT), and compares them with water availability estimated using the F.J. Mock hydrological model. Input data include rainfall records, climatological parameters, river discharge, and field measurements. Crop water requirements were calculated using the FAO Penman–Monteith method, while water availability was assessed through dependable flow analysis. Results indicate that water availability in the Way Bungur watershed generally exceeds irrigation demand across three cropping seasons. However, temporal mismatches between planting schedules and water surplus or deficit periods lead to suboptimal water use. These findings highlight the importance of integrating annual water balance analysis into cropping pattern planning to enhance allocation efficiency, reduce risk, and promote sustainable agricultural development.

Abstract

This geophysical study employs the gravity method to analyze subsurface fault structures in the Simeulue Island region, located between 1°59′S–3°14′S and 95°06′E–96°59′E. The area lies within an active tectonic zone where the IndoAustralian Plate subducts beneath the Eurasian Plate, making it a critical site for understanding subduction dynamics and accretionary prism formation. Secondary gravity and topographic data were acquired from TOPEX satellite imagery. The primary objective is to identify gravity anomalies and delineate subsurface geological features such as faults, folds, and fractures—based on variations in the Earth's gravitational field caused by density contrasts between rock units. The gravity method is particularly effective due to its sensitivity to such density differences. Qualitative interpretation was conducted using Surfer 16, while quantitative modeling utilized Oasis Montaj. Results reveal high Bouguer anomaly values in the southwest, corresponding to the plate convergence zone, and low anomaly values extending from the southeast to northwest, associated with the accretionary prism. The 2D model illustrates the subduction of oceanic crust with a density of 3.43 g/cm³ beneath continental crust with a density of 2.67 g/cm³. The 3D model further reveals that subduction becomes evident at a depth of approximately 16.11 km, with the crustal thickness in the accretionary prism zone reaching around 19.92 km. The 3D approach provides a more comprehensive spatial visualization of the subduction geometry and density distribution, offering insights that surpass conventional 2D analysis. These findings contribute to a deeper understanding of regional geodynamics and may serve as a reference for seismotectonic studies and disaster mitigation efforts in the surrounding area.

Abstract

Dili, the capital city of Timor-Leste, is increasingly vulnerable to flooding due to its geomorphological characteristics and rapid urban expansion. The Comoro River, the largest of several rivers traversing the city, has experienced multiple significant flood events in recent years—most notably in March 2020, April 2021, and February 2022 resulting in severe damage to infrastructure and disruption to local communities. Urban development has led to watershed degradation, sediment accumulation, reduced channel capacity, and embankment overtopping, exacerbating flood risks in densely populated areas. This study aims to assess flood risk and evaluate embankment resilience using an integrated modeling approach. Design flood discharge was estimated using the Log Pearson Type III distribution and the Nakayasu synthetic unit hydrograph, with validation through Chi-Square and Kolmogorov-Smirnov goodness-of-fit tests. Hydraulic simulations were conducted using HEC-RAS 6.1.0, while flood inundation mapping was performed with ArcGIS 10.3 to identify critical flood-prone zones and guide mitigation strategies. Results indicate a peak discharge of 192.141 m³/s for a 25-year return period flood. Mitigation measures proposed include embankment construction and river normalization at vulnerable cross-sections. HEC-RAS simulations demonstrate that these interventions significantly reduce flood inundation. The embankment slope stability factor was calculated at 14.25, indicating a high level of structural safety. The estimated cost for implementing these flood control measures is USD 571,366.87. This study provides a replicable framework for flood hazard modeling and infrastructure planning in urban river systems, contributing to climate-resilient development and evidence-based decision-making in Southeast Asian contexts.
