Abstract

The Indo-Pacific Warm Pool significantly influences global atmospheric circulation, with tropical rainfall patterns highly sensitive to glacial–interglacial climate changes. During the Last Glacial Maximum (LGM), approximately 26,500 years before present, lower insolation, expanded ice sheets, and reduced sea levels weakened the Australian–Indonesian Monsoon (AIM) due to a southward shift of the Intertropical Convergence Zone (ITCZ). In contrast, the Holocene period experienced intensified monsoon systems and increased precipitation. However, high-resolution hydroclimate reconstructions from the western Savu Strait remain scarce. This study reconstructs rainfall variability from the LGM to the Holocene using geochemical proxies from sediment core ST10 (at 1 cm interval), located in the western Savu Strait. Three elemental ratios (Ti/Ca, K/Ca, and Rb/Sr) from X-ray fluorescence (XRF) core scanning were used to indicate terrigenous input, chemical weathering, and fluvial discharge. The age model was established using radiocarbon dating and stable isotope alignment with the Greenland ice core δ¹⁸O record. Log-transformed elemental ratios reveal four intervals of increased rainfall: the LGM, Heinrich Event 1 (HE1), Younger Dryas to Early Holocene, and the Late Holocene. These periods are characterized by elevated Ti/Ca, K/Ca, and Rb/Sr values, suggesting enhanced monsoonal rainfall and continental runoff. Conversely, lower proxy values during the Early Deglaciation, Bølling–Allerød, and Mid-Holocene indicate drier climatic conditions. These patterns align with regional proxy records from southwest Sumba and the Timor Sea, confirming the reliability of elemental ratios in reconstructing past hydroclimate variability. This study provides the first continuous record of rainfall shifts in the western Savu Strait from the LGM to Holocene and contributes to understanding long-term monsoon dynamics in southeastern Indonesia, highlighting the complex response of tropical hydroclimate to global climate forcing.

Abstract

Cisarua, which contains a geothermal hot spring, is an intriguing area to investigate due to its location far from any known heat source or volcanic activity. Using the HVSR technique, this study aims to characterize the local site effects based on key parameters: natural frequency (fo), amplification factor (Ao), and average shear-wave velocity down to 30 meters depth (Vs30). Microtremor measurements were conducted at 25 locations across the Cisarua hot spring area, with an average spacing of 300 meters. Each site was recorded for 40–50 minutes, and the data were processed using Geopsy software to extract the HVSR curves, along with the fo and Ao values. The HVSR curves were then inverted using the Particle Swarm Optimization (PSO) algorithm to derive Vs30 values. The results show that fo values range from 0.6 to 1.1 Hz, and Vs30 values are generally below 175 m/s. These two parameters exhibit minimal spatial variation, indicating the presence of thick, soft, and relatively homogeneous sedimentary layers across most of the study area. The Ao values range from 2 to 5, with values below 3 dominating near the geothermal manifestation zone. The spatial distribution of fo and Ao reveals a northwest–southeast trend, which is strongly correlated with the presence of the Lampung–Panjang Fault that likely controls sediment accumulation and layer thickness in the area. Around point T13, Vs30 drops to 125–150 m/s, suggesting localized softening of the soil due to hydrothermal alteration processes. These findings emphasize the interplay between site effects, regional geological structures, and geothermal activity in shaping the dynamic properties of the subsurface in this area.

Abstract

The Palu region in Central Sulawesi is high tectonic activity area due to a subduction zone and major fault system, which resulted in high seismic intensity. The b value, as the seismic characteristic, is a valuable parameter for evaluating stress conditions and earthquake precursors. This study aimed to investigate the temporal and depth variations of the b-value in the Palu region. We observed earthquake distribution over 75 years from 1950 to 2025, which was obtained from the United States Geological Survey catalog. We applied the declustering analysis to isolate the mainshock events by using the space-time window method. We also conducted the magnitude completeness estimation and b-value calculation with ZMAP. This result showed that the average b-value was around 0.88, which was indicated as an intermediate level of seismic activity, influenced by subduction and the Palu-Koro Fault. Decreasing b-value was observed prior to the 1996 and 2018 earthquakes, followed by an increase in the parameter. This pattern exhibited stress accumulation and release, which was represented by the magnitude distribution. This lowering characteristic of b-value could be a long term precursor to major earthquakes. Furthermore, the depth variation of b-value revealed high values in the upper crust (0–10 km), a decrease around 20–30 km, and a secondary increase near 40 km, which corresponds to the Moho, as indicated by shear wave velocity profiles. These results provide insight into the crustal structure and seismic behavior in a tectonically complex and tsunami-prone region.

Abstract

Remote sensing and GIS are playing important roles in geomorphology and hazard risks analysis. Pesawaran area located near the Menanga Fault and recently on the risk of earthquake that happened along this fault.  Thus, it is essential to investigate the area actively affected by Menanga Fault as preliminary research about hazard risk related to Menanga Fault. The morphometry method based on DEMNAS and Landsat 8 was applied to evaluate the zone affected by Menanga Fault, and fracture data analysis was conducted to consider the possibility of fault segmentation resulting from its mechanism. The study area can be divided into 3 zones; zone A is greatly affected by Menanga Fault activity, zone B is affected by Menanga Fault and Mt. Pesawaran development, and zone C is tectonically less affected. Zone A landforms were not only formed as a result of Menanga Thrust fault but also the strike-slip fault segment.  Fault segmentation exists in this zone with different mechanisms (strike-slip and dip-slip), producing lineaments with different trends, and differentiation of river patterns.

Abstract

Metode magnetotellurik (MT) merupakan salah satu teknik dalam metode geofisika yang menggunakan sumber alami dalam bentuk medan elektromagnetik yang berasal dari medan listrik dan variasi medan magnet di bumi. Dalam proses interpretasi kondisi bawah permukaan bumi, data MT masih dipengaruhi oleh noise atau distorsi yang akan menutupi dimensionalitas sebenarnya. Oleh karena itu dilakukan analisis tensor fase untuk menentukan dimensionalitas dan arah geoelectrical strike guna mengidentifikasi struktur bawah permukaan yang tidak dipengaruhi oleh distorsi galvanic. Berdasarkan hasil yang diperoleh, daerah penelitian memiliki dimensionalitas 2D dengan orientasi barat laut – tenggara dengan arah N345 E. Hasil inversi 2D menunjukkan bahwa nilai resistivitas < 10  diidentifikasi sebagai zona alterasi atau clay cap yang didominasi oleh mineral smektit. Nilai resistivitas 20 – 250  diidentifikasi sebagai reservoar yang bersifat permeabel yang tersusun atas batu pasir kasar, kerikil, basal, andesit, riolit, riodasit tuff dan konglomerat. Lapisan dengan nilai resistivitas > 250  diidentifikasi sebagai Upper Triassic Metasediment yang mengalami sedimentasi yang sangat keras, hal tersebut disebabkan tekanan dan suhu tinggi. Lapisan ini tersusun atas meta batu lanau, batu lempung, meta batu pasir, dan meta konglomerat.

Abstract

The laterite nickel deposit model provides information about the form of laterite nickel deposits below the surface, which can be used as one of the considerations in the implementation of mining activities. The purpose of conducting this research is to determine the distribution model of nickel laterite deposits in 3 dimensions (3D) and to determine the amount of nickel laterite reserves based on high-grade saprolite ore (HGSO) and low-grade saprolite ore (LGSO) values in the DH Block. In this research, Inverse Distance Weighted (IDW) is used to estimate nickel laterite resources, which are applied using mining software Surpac 6.3.2 to produce a model in 3D form. The data used are laterite nickel content data (assay), x, y, and z coordinate data (collar), survey data, and lithology data. Based on IDW estimation results with a Cut Off Grade (COG) value of 1.3 in the DH Block of PT Mitra Karya Agung Lestari, High-Grade Saprolite Ore (HGSO) values were obtained at Ni content > 1.7 and Low-Grade Saprolite Ore (LGSO) at Ni content > 1.3, with a tonnage value of 111.994 tons of HGSO and 371.044 tons of LGSO.
