Indonesia is a country with high earthquake potential. This potential has been realized by its stakeholders and other parties. Various methods from many researchers from the fields of geophysics, geology, seismology, geodesy, geotechnical engineering, and others have been discussed to arrange earthquake mitigation. However, the discussions are unable to fit all earthquake mitigations across the country because they are still limited to specific characteristics of each fault among thousands of faults in Indonesia. Seismic moment is a parameter that provides information on the energy released when an earthquake occurs. This parameter, in any given scale, can provide information about the earthquake recurrence interval. The earthquake recurrence interval referred to here means that during a certain time period, the area under study has the possibility of experiencing an identical earthquake or with a smaller magnitude. This study tries to offer and test the method of calculating earthquake recurrence interval based on seismic moments. The method tested in several case studies of earthquakes in East Kalimantan has acceptable results. The method in this research has advantages value and can be alternative method in earthquake disaster mitigation.
The availability of clean water is a basic need to meet daily needs. Therefore, the identification of groundwater and its aquifer types was carried out in Labulia, Alor sub-village, Central Lombok Region and Lilir sub-village, Membalan Village, West Lombok Region. The identification of groundwater and the type of aquifer is carried out using the vertical electrical sounding method with the Schlumberger configuration because this method can identify vertical resistivity more accurately than other resistivity methods, such as Wenner. The pseudo resistivity data obtained from these measurements is processed using IPI2Win software and progress. The result of the interpretation was that the aquifer in Olor Agung sub-village was a confined aquifer, while Lilir sub-village was a free aquifer.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
