Abstract

Arafura Sea is influenced by several climatic dynamics, it is also a part of the coral triangle that provides most of marine organism diversity of the world. Therefore, this area is an important  waters that impact the climatic dynamic so its paleoceanographic changes need to be understood. For that, we analyzed the foraminiferal PB ratio from marine sediment core ARAFURA-24 with a core length of 179 cm, collected from 47.4 m water depth, combined with that of Aru-07, taken from 276 m water depth (core length 152 cm). Both sediment cores were collected from the Arafura Sea using a gravity corer on board Geomarin III. ARAFURA-24 was sub-sampling in every 20 cm interval, while Aru-07 had been prepared in every 10 cm interval. PB Ratio values from ARAFURA-24 and Aru-07 ranged from 0,56% - 7,43% and from 29,89% to 82,66%, respectively. The age model was reconstructed by 14C radiocarbon dating derived from organic sediment, combined with tie points of PB ratio records. The result indicates that ARAFURA-24 has been sedimented since the last 9.7 kyr BP. PB ratio records reveal three maximum sea level rises, which are before 7.4 kyr BP, at 5.86 kyr, and after 3 kyr BP (approximately at 2 kyr BP at Aru-07). From the age model reconstruction, sedimentation during the last 3 kyr BP was relatively slower than that in the older period. It can be concluded that the foraminiferal PB ratio during Late Holocene was not significantly impacted by sedimentation rate (hence detrital influence), in contrast, during Mid-Holocene detrital influence had more impact on the PB ratio record.

Abstract

A survey on marine geology and oceanography was conducted in Manggar Waters, East Belitung, in order to protect the geological heritage of the newly inaugurated Belitong UNESCO Global Geopark (UGGp) in 2021. This study is aimed at understanding the characteristics of the seabed, marine sediments, currents, and coastal features in the area. A bathymetrical survey was done using an Echotrac echosounder to measure water depths, and current measurements were taken with an Infinity device. Forty sediment samples were collected and analyzed for their characteristics. The coastal features were examined through direct observation, and an unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) drone was used to investigate the morphology of small islands. The results showed that the seabed was mainly composed of coarse sediments, such as sand and clayey sand, with some areas containing gravel near Buku Limau Island. The microfauna foraminifera analysis indicated a relatively low diversity, with Operculina and Amphistegina being the dominant species. Two types of beaches were recognized: the northern part, consisting of rocky beaches made of igneous rocks, and the southern part, which has flat beaches made of beach alluvium deposits. Abrasion was found to be dominant in the southern part, particularly at Tambak Beach. The study provides valuable information for the planning and management of marine areas in the Belitong Geopark. It also highlights the importance of preserving and protecting the geological heritage of the region. With this newfound knowledge, stakeholders can make cognizant decisions to ensure the conservation of the Belitong Geopark and its unique geological features.
