Utilization of Sar and Earth Gravity Data for Sub Bituminous Coal Detection

Abstract

Abstract. Remote sensing data can be used for geological and mining applications, such as coal detection. Coal consists of five classes of Anthracite, Bituminous, Sub-Bituminous, Lignite coal and Peat coal. In this study, the type of coal that is discussed is Sub bituminous, Lignite coal, and peat coal. This study aims to detect potential sub bituminous using Synthetic Aperture Radar (SAR) data, and earth gravity. One type of remote sensing data to detect potential sub bituminous, lignite coal and peat coal are SAR data and satellite data Geodesy. SAR data used in this study is ALOS PALSAR. SAR data is used to predict the boundary between Lignite coal with Peat coal. The method used is backscattering. In addition to the SAR data is also used to make height model. The method used is interferometry. Geodetic satellite data is used to extract the value of the earth gravity and geodynamics. The method used is physical geodesy. Potential sub-bituminous coal can be known after the correlation between the predicted limits lignite coal-peat coal by the earth gravity, geodynamics, and height model. Volume predictions of potential sub bituminous can be known by calculating the volume using height model and transverse profile test. The results of this study useful for preliminary survey of geological in mining exploration activities.

Measuring the Financial Performance of Enterprises Under Ministry of Energy and Mineral Resources (EMR) an Indonesia Experience

“…In relation with the global coal reserves, Indonesia is now ranked 10th with about 3.1 percent of total global coal reserves are proven by the BP Statistical Review of World Energy. According to (7), Indonesia's coal reserves expected to be exhausted in about 83 years if the current production rate is passed. Based on the study conducted by (8) stated that the significant portion of export thermal coal consists of the medium quality type (between 5100 and 6100 cal/gram) and the low quality (below 5100 cal/gram) which is largely demand from China and India.…”

Dynamics topography monitoring in Peatland using the latest digital terrain model

“…Currently, Peatland presents one of the main ecological problems in Indonesia. Various incidents such as land fires, mining, floods, land subsidence, and water quality have occurred on Indonesia's Peatland [7], [8]. One of Indonesia's most extensive peatlands is located in Pulang Pisau Regency, which has the largest peat dome and a depth of > 25 m [9].…”
