Abstract

Kepahiang, Bengkulu, is an area with considerable geothermal potential, especially in the Air Sempiang and Babakan Bogor areas. This study aims to analyze subsurface fault characteristics and assess geothermal potential using the Horizontal-to-Vertical Spectral Ratio (HVSR) microtremor method. This passive seismic method is used to determine key geophysical parameters, including dominant frequency (f0), amplification factor (A0), shear wave velocity (vs), and primary wave velocity (vp), which are essential for characterizing subsurface geological structures and identifying geothermal reservoir zones. The results show that dominant frequency values in Kepahiang range from 1.24 Hz to 20.45 Hz, while the amplification factor varies between 1.29 and 7.22. vs values range from 121.61 m/s to 3251.79 m/s, and vp values range from 214.91 m/s to 6469.79 m/s. These findings suggest that the surface layer consists mainly of alluvium and hard sandy gravel, with thicknesses varying between 10 and 50 meters. The 3D subsurface model constructed from the data indicates the presence of fault-controlled geothermal manifestations, mainly influenced by the Babakan Bogor Fault and Bogor Fault. These faults facilitate the upward migration of geothermal fluids, forming surface manifestations such as hot springs, fumaroles, and altered rocks. The geothermal system in the study area is classified as a low-temperature geothermal system, mainly caused by residual magmatic heat from Kaba Mountain and Bukit Hitam Crater. This research provides important insights for geothermal energy exploration and geotourism development in Kepahiang. These findings serve as a scientific basis for future geothermal resource assessment, land use planning, and sustainable energy utilization.

Abstract

The southern region of East Java is located above an active subduction zone, where the Indo-Australian Plate is subducting beneath the Eurasian Plate. This tectonic condition makes the region potentially susceptible to large-scale megathrust earthquakes. This study aims to characterize the suspected seismic gap segments in the southern subduction zone of East Java, with a primary focus on the area between Pacitan and Lumajang. The approach used is based on high-resolution seismotectonic spatial analysis, combining three main parameters: seismicity distribution, earthquake return period estimates, and a-values and b-values as indicators of tectonic activity and stress condition. The analyzed data covers a long period of time, from 1910 to 2025, and was compiled by the BMKG and USGS catalogs. The results of the analysis show that the Pacitan-Lumajang segment experiences a lack of earthquake activity in the plate interface, although this area is tectonically active. In addition, this segment has a very long return period (> 500 years for Mw7 and > 4,000 years for Mw8), accompanied by low a-value and b-value, indicating low earthquake frequency and high stress accumulation. These findings indicate that the segment is a locked zone that has the potential to release large amounts of energy in the future. The results of this study provide an initial contribution in understanding the spatial distribution of seismic activity in the southern region of East Java, and can be used as supporting considerations in initial disaster risk assessments, especially in densely populated coastal areas.
