Abstract

Low grade metamorphic rocks including slate, phyllite, metasandstone with subordinate schist and quartzite are widely distributed in the East Johor, Peninsular Malaysia. Regionally, this rock unit is extended northward up to northern Terengganu area. The protolith of this rocks unit were deposited in shallow marine depositional environment that subsequently metamorphosed during Carboniferous time. The very thick argillaceous and arenaceous rocks more than 5000 metres were produced by fast rate accommodation spaces due to global sea level rise during Early to Late Carboniferous against with high fine-grained sediment supply. Tectonic setting, basin formation and sedimentation processes were controlled by rifting of Indochina-East Malaya continental block from Gondwanaland during Devonian to Late Carboniferous. This rifting formed basins within a passive margin tectonic setting along the western margin of Indochina-East Malaya continental block.Keywords: Metamorphic rocks, shallow marine, Carboniferous, passive margin

Abstract

The probabilistic seismic hazard maps are developed for Yogyakarta depression area. The earthquake catalog of ANSS (1970-2007) is taken into account with the complement of NEIC (USGS, 1973-2007) and the records of BMG (2000-2004). On the basis of seismicity of the area, tectonics and geological information, the seismic source zones are characterized for this area. The seismicity parameters of each seismic source are determined by applying the classical Gutenberg-Richter recurrence model, regarding the historical records. The attenuation relation for Yogyakarta depression area cannot be evaluated since the sufficient strong ground motion records are not available for this region. Therefore the attenuation relations which were developed for other territories as Europe and Japan are used for the present hazard calculation by validating, using the aftershocks records, modeling the peak ground acceleration maps for the recent event, 27 May, 2006, Yogyakarta earthquake inserting the damage area distribution pattern. The probabilistic seismic hazard maps are finally developed by using the McGuire (1976) EQRISK computer program by modifying for the present purpose. The seismic hazard maps expressed in term of peak ground acceleration are developed for the recurrence intervals of 10, 50, 100, 200 and 500 years

Abstract

In the mountainous area of the tropics, soil creep often occurs on residual soil and colluvial deposit. The rate of this phenomenon varies from very slow to extremely slow and is difficult to detect without equipment as well as model. Within PFC3D (Particle Flow Code in three dimensions) granular materials such as soils are simulated by balls. And the PFC3D model was applied for colluvial soil creep. Although existing of some limitations, this application determined direction of creeping as well as zone of creeping of culluvial soil.

Abstract

Paleostress analysis on the landslide boundary faults is able to explain the sliding mechanism. This method is particularly useful to study a paleolandslide. About 30 striated fault planes from the Parangtritis paleo-landslide, located in the Yogyakarta coastline, were analyzed to define their principle stress axes. The eastern boundary fault, named as the Girijati Fault, was the main fault responsible for the mass movement and leaving a considerable steep cliff. It moved normal in a left lateral sense with ENE – WSW extension and dragged the rockmass southward, creating a NNW – SSW extension along the Parangtritis Fault and turn it into the western boundary fault. The rockmass slided along the stratigraphic contact between the underlying Nglanggran Formation and the overlying Wonosari Formation, created a semi-circular crown cliff as the northern boundary and produced some isolated topographic highs of the thrust block near the toe. Keywords: Paleostress, landslide boundary, fault, paleolandslide

Abstract

Since May 29, 2006, a sea of hot mud has been gushing from the ground in Sidoarjo, East Java, 35 kilometres south of Indonesia’s second largest city, Surabaya. Due to this disaster, approximately thousand of peoples have been forced from their homes because 600 ha of land and villages were submerged, farmland was ruined, businesses and schools closed as the mud inundated the surrounding area. The authorities response was to build containment ‘basins’ or ‘ponds’ by enclosing areas of land within earth dams, or levees. During the heavy rain on the rainy season, the earth dams and ringdykes have overflown and broken regularly, causing the flooding of more land and damaging infrastructures. However, not only in the rainy season, the levees had also collapses during the dry season. Therefore, an engineering geology study was conducted in order to evaluate the geological factors which causes this phenomena. The parameters used for the evaluation are the heterogeniety of lithology under the dams, geological discontinuity which indicated by the occuring of surface cracks and bubbles, and subsidence phenomena which indicated by the vertical displacement. Overlying method was used to build homogeniety zone of engineering geology based on those parameters, and the resulted map was once again overlay with the location of dams collapses. Result of this evaluation shows that the earth dams collapses were highly correlated with the existing geological discontinuities and subsidences, respectively. Based on this study, the susceptible location of earth dams collapses can be predicted and allow engineers to prepare and plan better engineering solution for the high probable collapses points in order to protect land and infrastructures from the damaging hot mud overflown.

Abstract

Development of indusrialization and urbanization not only increase economic growth but also contribute to the environmental degradation, especially contamination of heavy metals in water. In other side, there are many geological materials have capability to immobilize heavy metals. Therefore, the objective of this research is to know the maximum capacity of natural zeolite from Trembono area, Gunung Kidul regency to immobilize copper (Cu2+) from water and to understand their mechanism. This experiment was carry out by a batch test. The result showed that the maximum capacity of zeolite to immobilize Cu (qmax) is 63,69 mmolCu/kg Zeolite according to Langmuir adsorption equilibrium model. In addition, the capability to immobilize Cu will increases due to decreasing the grain size. The result of this research can be used as an alternative for waste water treatment, especially Cu. Keywords: Removal, copper (Cu2+), natural zeolite, Langmuir isotherm

Abstract

The study of intrinsic vulnerability of groundwater was generated in order to delineate groundwater protection zone in Pandak and Bambanglipuro, Indonesia, whose mainly water supply is from groundwater. Two methods of vulnerability mapping are chosen for the evaluation; DRASTIC method and Hoelting method. The resulted maps conducted from these method are validated using the actual contaminant concentration through the impact of on-site sanitation, for instance nitrate as it is proved to be very stable contaminants in groundwater. Considered in different hydrogeological setting, these two methods have produced various results at the certain site. However, its reliability has been drawn upon the nitrate concentration at the study areas. Keywords: Intrinsic groundwater, vulnerability, DRASTIC, Hoelting methods, nitrate contamination

Abstract

Bantul is one district of Yogyakarta Special Province which residents mostly use on-site sanitation. On-site sanitation is well-known for hot-spot system of nitrate groundwater contamination. It is because the wide-practice of failure of on-site sanitation systems. Besides, the failure of on-site sanitation system, it will depend on the age of settlement, population density, sanitation arrangement and sanitation behavior including water use patterns. Because of this, nitrate has leaked to groundwater and polluted many supply wells surrounding the septic systems. Since the repeated intake of nitrate could cause various acute and chronic effects to human health, especially the infant’s health under 3 months (blue baby syndrome), it is crucial to undertake the study of impact of sanitation on groundwater nitrate level in Bantul district to acquire a better understanding of the effect of settlement age, population density, sanitation arrangement and sanitation behavior on the concentration of nitrate in groundwater. In order to recognize or achieve the understanding of this issue, a methodology is conducted by observation directly to the field, including the measuring of groundwater table and the distance of septic tank to well, and also make the questionnaires for the mentioned parameters. Finally, the result of each factors (Sanitation arrangement, Settlement age, House density) are shown a low relationship with nitrate concentration, although water use patterns does not. However, the combination of these three factors can show up to find out a better correlation than one factor with this nitrate concentration. Although it has a good relationship with nitrate concentration (average), the variation of nitrate concentration from high to low shows a low relationship. Therefore, the importance of groundwater vulnerability cannot be overlooked in explaining the variation in contaminant concentrations because the nitrate concentration in the groundwater does not only depend on contaminant loading but also groundwater vulnerability.

Abstract

The Yogyakarta region is located in the southeastern part of Central Java, Indonesia. The region forms an elongated northeast – southwest-trending central depression bordered by two parallel faults in the west and east. These major faults divided the area into three parts, including the western, central and eastern parts. Herein, we investigate the relative uplift rate of the each part by using planktonic and benthonic foraminiferas. The foraminifera will show the initial position/datum of each part before uplift. Over sixty samples (primarily limestones and marls) were taken for this research. The uplift rates of each part were different and created a depressed block control by way of parallel faults. Based on foraminifera fossil observations, each block was in the same depositional environment (inner neritic) during N9. The present positions indicate that the western part was uplifted higher than the others, with this part being uplifted more than 590 meters. The central part was uplifted less than 120 meters, and the eastern part was uplifted above an altitude of 170-300 meters. Keywords: Foraminifera fossil, planktonic, benthonic, graben, uplift
