Abstract

In a study conducted in recent years, it was found that atmospheric conditions such as temperature and humidity values greatly affect the climatic conditions of a region. This real-time temperature and humidity monitoring system is very useful and can be used in various regions. By using IoT, monitoring can be done in real-time. Temperature and humidity can use DHT 22 linked to ESP 32 and the data is stored and displayed in ThingSpeak. The trial of the monitoring tool was carried out for more than 31 hours and obtained 6920 data. At the time of the experiment the monitoring system worked well. At the time of observation for temperature the maximum value is 32.4 ̊C, the minimum value is 28.1 ̊C, the mean is 29.75621387283237 ̊C, and the standard deviation is 3.587911994653761 and for humidity the maximum value is 81.4%, the minimum value is 63.6%, the mean is 72.6355404624 and the standard deviation is 3.5879112. From the experiment, it was also found that the temperature value was inversely proportional to the humidity and when it was going to rain the temperature value went up while the humidity went down and when it rained the temperature went up while the temperature went down.

Abstract

The Urban Heat Island (UHI) phenomenon is an increase in surface temperature in urban areas compared to the surrounding, more rural areas. This phenomenon can affect shifts in weather patterns, including an increase in average temperature, changes in rainfall patterns, and an increase in extreme weather events. This study aims to analyse the impact of UHI on shifting weather patterns in Indonesia using BMKG daily climate data. The method used includes a quantitative approach withtime series analysis to understand the trend of changes in air temperature and rainfall in Sidoarjo and Malang. The results showed a correlation between UHI intensity and changes in weather patterns,where areas with high UHI intensity experienced a significant increase in temperature and changes in rainfall patterns. This research is expected to provide insights for more sustainable urban planning in the face of UHI impacts in Indonesia.

Abstract

Air quality monitoring is critical in supporting environmental and public health policies, but conventional station-based methods still have limitations in cost and area coverage. Alternatively, low-cost sensor technologies based on the Internet of Things (IoT) and Artificial Intelligence (AI) offer solutions that are more economical, flexible, and capable of real-time monitoring. However, low-cost sensors face the challenge of lower accuracy compared to conventional sensors and require regular calibration for reliable measurement results. This paper analyzes the development of low-cost sensor technology, its effectiveness compared to conventional technology, and its impact on public budget efficiency. The results show that the integration of AI and IoT can improve the accuracy of low-cost sensors, while the citizen science model has the potential to expand monitoring coverage by involving the public in data collection. With the right strategy, low-cost sensors can be an inclusive and sustainable solution to support more cost-effective and data-driven environmental policies.

Abstract

The ultraviolet (UV) radiation emitted by the sun has both positive and negative impacts on human life. Excessive exposure to UV rays can lead to various health issues, such as skin cancer and cataracts. Therefore, UV radiation monitoring becomes crucial, especially in the face of climate change, which may increase the intensity of UV radiation due to the depletion of the ozone layer. This study aims to design an Internet of Things (IoT)-based UV index monitoring system, equipped with a dual- axis solar tracker to optimize UV index measurements. The system utilizes the ESP32 microcontroller as the main processing unit, the UVM-30A sensor to detect UV radiation, and the DS3231 Real Time Clock (RTC) module for time synchronization. UV index data is displayed in real-time through a Liquid Crystal Display (LCD) screen and the Blynk platform for easy remote access. Test results show that the system performs well, with a low relative error compared to UV index data from the reference site uvindex.app. This system provides an innovative solution for efficient and real-time UV index monitoring, which can increase public awareness about the dangers of UV radiation.

Abstract

This study addresses the necessity of evaluating solar radiation as a renewable energy source in tropical regions, specifically focusing on the challenges of estimation in Batam. The objective is to model daily solar radiation levels using satellite-derived weather data to overcome the lack of surface observation stations. Daily meteorological variables, including air temperature, relative humidity, rainfall, surface pressure, and wind speed, were sourced from the NASA POWER platform for the period January 1, 2020, to July 2, 2025. To ensure robust model generalization and prevent data leakage, the dataset was partitioned chronologically, utilizing data from 2020–2024 for training and the year 2025 for independent testing. Three computational models Linear Regression (LR), Random Forest (RF), and Decision Tree (DT) were applied to the processed data. The evaluation results indicate that the Random Forest model achieved the highest relative performance among the tested algorithms, recording a Mean Squared Error (MSE) of 19.61, a Mean Absolute Error (MAE) of 3.42, and a coefficient of determination R² of 0.20. In comparison, the Linear Regression model produced an R² of 0.19, while the Decision Tree showed significantly lower predictive accuracy. Despite being the most viable model, an R² of 0.20 reveals that the current predictors explain only 20% of the variance in solar radiation, highlighting the inherent complexity of tropical atmospheric dynamics. These findings suggest that while machine learning offers a promising framework for energy planning in Batam, further research incorporating additional explanatory features, such as cloud cover or aerosol indices, is required to improve model reliability.

Abstract

West Java is a region with one of the most complex tectonic settings in Indonesia, influenced by the Sunda Megathrust subduction zone and an active inland fault system. This study aimed to estimate the Peak Ground Acceleration (PGA) values in the West Java region using a Deterministic Seismic Hazard Analysis (DSHA) approach with the Maximum of Maxima criteria. The data used is sourced from the BMKG earthquake catalog for the 2018–2024 period, which includes the most recent epicenter, hypocenter depth, and magnitude parameters. PGA calculations were performed using the Milne attenuation model for each grid point in the target area, followed by spatial interpolation using PyGMT software. The analysis results reveal a significant bimodal seismic hazard characteristic. An absolute maximum PGA value of 0.46 g was identified, triggered by a local shallow crustal earthquake with a magnitude of M 5.8 at a shallow depth within the inland region. Meanwhile, the southern coastal zone is dominated by the influence of a large Megathrust earthquake (M 8.7), although its shaking impact attenuates as it moves inland toward northern population centers. These findings confirm that while subduction sources possess greater energy potential, local active inland faults pose a more direct and destructive shaking threat to densely populated inland areas. The hazard map generated in this study is expected to serve as a crucial technical reference for resilient infrastructure planning and the updating of earthquake mitigation strategies in West Java Province.

Abstract

The Palu-Koro Fault in Central Sulawesi represents a highly active tectonic feature with significant seismic hazard potential, yet detailed subsurface mapping remains challenging due to the difficult terrain in the region. This study analyzed the subsurface structure of the fault zone by utilizing TOPEX satellite gravity data to overcome accessibility issues. The primary objective was to delineate the fault geometry and characterize subsurface lithological boundaries through density contrasts. The data processing stage initially determined the average surface rock density using the Parasnis method, which yielded a precise value of 2.45 grams per cubic centimeter. This density was subsequently applied to generate the Simple Bouguer Anomaly map. To distinguish between deep-seated regional trends and shallow local structures, the study employed two filtering approaches: the second-order polynomial method and the Moving Average method. The results demonstrated that both filtering techniques yielded consistent residual anomaly patterns. The main trace of the Palu-Koro Fault was clearly identified as a continuous low-anomaly zone, interpreted as a fracture system filled with low-density sedimentary deposits. Conversely, significant high-amplitude positive anomalies were detected adjacent to the fault trace, suggesting the existence of shallow high-density bodies such as igneous intrusions or uplifted basement blocks. This research concluded that the integration of satellite gravity data with regional-residual anomaly separation successfully mapped the structural complexity of the area, providing critical baseline data for updating seismic hazard models and enhancing disaster mitigation strategies in Sulawesi.

Abstract

West Java represents one of Indonesia's most seismically active regions, characterized by complex interactions between the Indo-Australian subduction zone and active onshore fault systems. This study investigated subsurface geological configurations and their relationship to earthquake occurrences using Earth Magnetic Anomaly Grid (EMAG2) data with a 2-arc-minute resolution. The research methodology utilized Reduction to the Pole (RTP) to eliminate dipolar effects caused by the equatorial location, followed by spectral analysis to separate regional and residual anomalies. To precisely map structural lineaments, First Horizontal Derivative (FHD) and Second Vertical Derivative (SVD) techniques were applied to the residual data. The processed maps revealed distinct anomaly contrasts, with high magnetic intensities (up to 300 nT) associated with volcanic intrusions and low anomalies (approximately −100 nT) indicating sedimentary basins or hydrothermally altered zones. A critical analysis of the December 15, 2017, Tasikmalaya earthquake (Mw 6.5) identified a strong correlation between the epicenter and a significant low magnetic anomaly zone of −150 nT. This specific signature was interpreted as a fracture zone characterized by rock demagnetization resulting from tectonic stress accumulation. These findings confirm that integrating EMAG2 data with derivative filtering is a robust approach for delineating active tectonic structures, thereby contributing essential data for regional seismic hazard mitigation.

Abstract

Accurately determining the termination time of aftershocks is crucial for disaster mitigation and establishing safe periods for community recovery. This study aimed to estimate the decay time of the January 2023 Jayapura aftershock sequence (M 5.4) using a numerical computational approach. The Mogi II decay model was selected due to its high compatibility with local seismicity. To resolve its complex non-linear exponential equations without analytical derivatives, the Secant Method was implemented using Python. The algorithm was initialized with starting guess values of x0=0 and x1=1, and an error tolerance of 0.0001. To validate algorithmic robustness and efficiency, a sensitivity test was conducted, and the method was benchmarked against the Bisection method. Results demonstrated that the Secant algorithm achieved superior computational efficiency, converging in exactly 10 iterations (~0.000115 seconds) compared to Bisection's 18 iterations, while remaining highly stable under arbitrary extreme initial guesses. The numerical solution predicted the decay termination at day 12.765, subsequently rounded to 13 days following the mainshock. This finding showed exact agreement with manual observational data, successfully extrapolating the decay trajectory beyond the 10-day BMKG recording window. The study concluded that the Python-based Secant algorithm is effective, rapid, robust, and precise in solving the Mogi II equation, demonstrating significant potential as an automated analytical tool to enhance disaster mitigation decision-making.
