Abstract

This study aims to identify and understand the geological characteristics and groundwater aquifer potential in the study area. The research methods employed include surface geological mapping, borehole data interpretation, as well as lithology and structural geology analysis. The results indicate that the geological formations in the study area are predominantly composed of sedimentary and volcanic rocks with significant lithological variations, such as sandstone, claystone, and tuff. The identified geological structures, including folds and faults, influence the distribution of aquifers and groundwater flow. Aquifers in the study area are categorized into unconfined and confined aquifers, with the highest potential found in sandstone layers due to their high porosity and permeability. These findings are expected to serve as an important foundation for the sustainable management of groundwater resources in the study area.

Abstract

This study examines the geomorphological characteristics of Tilangobula Village in East Suwawa District, Bone Bolango Regency, Gorontalo Province, Indonesia, located within the tectonically active Limboto Zone. Through integrated field observations and geospatial analysis—including topographic maps, slope gradients, and drainage patterns—the research identifies structural hills as the dominant geomorphological unit, covering 2.356 km² with elevations ranging from 200 to 600 meters above sea level. The area exhibits two distinct drainage patterns (parallel and trellis) and variable slope gradients (2–140%). Morphogenetic analysis reveals the landscape has been shaped by both endogenic processes (notably oblique faulting, specifically a Normal Left Slip Fault) and exogenic factors (erosion of diorite and quartz diorite intrusions). The lithology comprises intrusive igneous rocks (diorite and quartz diorite), with structural features such as shear joints and faults further influencing the terrain. The findings highlight the interplay between tectonic forces and surface processes in forming the region’s unique structural hills, characterized by V-shaped valleys and steep slopes. This study provides critical baseline data for understanding understudied tectonic landscapes in eastern Indonesia and supports applications in regional geological research and land-use planning. The results underscore the importance of integrating morphographic, morphometric, and morphogenetic analyses to decipher complex geomorphological evolution in tectonically active regions.

Abstract

The study area exhibits diverse geological conditions, one of which is reflected in its geomorphological characteristics that are important to investigate. Olele is located within the southern mountainous zone of Gorontalo and is characterized by hilly to steep terrain. This study aims to identify and classify landform units based on geomorphological analysis. The research method involved field-based geological surveys, including direct geomorphological observations, lithological identification, and geomorphological mapping supported by secondary data analysis. The results show that the study area consists of three geomorphological landform units, namely alluvial plains covering an area of 17.84 ha, reef terrace plains with an area of 17.43 ha, and fault zone hills occupying 1,072.23 ha. The morphography of the area ranges from lowlands to high hills with elevations between 0 and 960 meters above sea level. Slope gradients vary from flat to very steep. Morphogenetic analysis indicates that endogenous processes, particularly tectonic activity, play a significant role in shaping the landscape, as evidenced by the presence of joint structures. Lithologically, the area is composed of unconsolidated alluvial deposits, reef limestone, and volcanic rocks that have undergone weathering and erosion. These findings demonstrate that the geomorphology of the Olele area is strongly controlled by tectonic processes, lithological variation, and surface processes, which together contribute to the development of distinct landform units.

Abstract

A continuously growing population day by day means that the need for water is also increasing.The majority of the Botumoputi Village community uses groundwater every day through dug wells and drilled wells for their daily needs. The purpose of the study was to determine the subsurface geological conditions that can be used as a reference in estimating the location, thickness, depth and type of aquifer. The method used is the resistivity geoelectric method using the Schlumberger configuration. Measurements were carried out at 3 points with a span length of 300 m each. Data processing and interpretation using software IPI2win. The results of processing Schlumberger configuration geoelectric data and subsurface geological interpretation to identify the type of groundwater aquifer in the Botumoputi area show 3 layers of rock types based on their resistivity values, namely top soil, clay and sand. It is estimated that the potential for groundwater is found in TS1 and TS2 where the lithology that acts as an aquifer is sandstone with a resistivity value of 16.8 - 42.7 ohms with a depth ranging from 3.93 - 17.2 m with a thickness of 8.88 - 13.27 m and is interpreted as a shallow aquifer.

Abstract

This study investigates the tectonic control on the development of geological structures along the Alo River in Tibawa District, Gorontalo Regency, Gorontalo Province. The research was conducted through geological mapping, structural analysis, and petrographic examination of basalt rock samples. The area is characterized by two major geomorphological units: structural hills and floodplains. Stratigraphically, it comprises basalt units—correlated with the Bilungala Volcanic Formation—and alluvial deposits. Structural analysis reveals two orders of joint structures with dominant orientations of NW–SE and N–S, interpreted as the result of multiple tectonic episodes. Petrographic analysis shows porphyritic and intergranular textures with plagioclase, pyroxene, and minor olivine as dominant minerals. Tectonic stress analysis using Win_Tensor software indicates transtensional regimes characterized by normal faulting and strike-slip faults with extensional components. These structures are associated with tectonic evolution in the North Arm of Sulawesi, transitioning from compressional to oblique-extensional settings during the Late Miocene–Pliocene due to changes in subduction geometry and microblock interactions. This ongoing tectonic activity has implications for regional geological mapping and natural resource management in Gorontalo.

Abstract

One of the regions in Indonesia with potential laterite nickel deposits is North Morowali, where the MTosu Formation, composed of Cretaceous-aged ultramafic rocks, is found. This study aims to identify the distribution of laterite and nickel content using data from Hand Auger analysis. The methods used include field observations, Hand Auger sampling, and geochemical analysis through X-Ray Fluorescence (XRF). The research area features two main geomorphological units: structural steep hills and structural gentle hills. Its stratigraphy consists of lherzolite and serpentinite units. The dominant geological structure trends northeast-southwest, following a linear pattern. Laterite distribution in the area is controlled by topography. Nickel content is categorized into three zones: high, medium, and low. XRF analysis of Hand Auger samples indicates that high nickel concentrations are located in the southwest and extend northeast across the study area.
