rectangular area of 72,000 ha along the tidal reach of the Batanghari River, northeast of Jambi, Sumatra, has been proposed by the Indonesian government as one of the sites for developing a community to relieve the population pressure in other parts of Indonesia (see figure l). By year 2000, Hanson and Koesoebiono (1975) estimated that a population of perhaps 250 million people would requir…
The impetus for publishing this set of articles was the realization that, year after year. I and my students at Stanford were making copies (with varying degrees of legibility and legality) of the same classic articles on plate tectonics and geomagnetic reversals. At first we did this because there was so little material on the subject available.
The wavefields generated by strombolion activity are investigated using data from small-aperture (120-600 m) seismic arrays deployed on the north flank of Stromboli and data from seismic and pressure transducers set up near the summit crater.
lmu Petrografi batubara sebetulnya telah dipelajaari sejak awal abad ke 20 yang dipelopori oleh Marie Stopes, (1919) dan Reinhardt Thiessen, (1920). Kedua nama ini telah memperkenalkan terminologi dan klasifikasi batubara yang sampai saat ini masih terpakai. Namun penclitian batubara secara petrografi baru dimulai sejak tahun 1930-an, dimana Marie Stopes, (1930) memp…
Volcanism is one of nature’s primal spectacles. It commands our attention, whether for its awesome power, its danger, or its beauty. The years 1975-85 brought dramatic examples of volcanism – from the 1980 blasts of Mt. St. Helens, through the continuing lava river of Hawaii, to the tragic eruption of Colombia’s Nevado del Ruiz in 1985 and these have been abundantly documented by the news…
The tectonic concept known as seafloor spreading , global tectonics and also as plate tectonics began engulfing the geological community in the early sixties. Within less than a decade this unifying, geotectonic hypothesis beame widely known, and judging from the current literature, it has also been widely accepted.
This book is a collection of Prof. Dr. John Ario Katili publications from various international journals about Indonesian tectonic and resources. The idea of producing this book was stated on the way to Islamic World Academic of Science Conference, Ankara, Turkey, 2006 when Prof. Dr. Ir. John Ario Katili showed his worries concerning the development of geology in Indonesia, mostly because there…
The monograph Geothermal Resources: An Energy Alternative by Harsh K. Gupta presents for the first time a readable, coherent account of all facets of geothermal energy development. The development of alternative, renewable energy resources during the past decade has been spurred by a crunch in the supplies of traditional hydrocarbon energy resources, which have previously been inexpensive and r…
This book is based at the level of a bachelor’s degree in physical science. Experience at Standford indicate that a one-semester class in engineering systems theory provides helpful additional background. It will be readable to a general science and engineering audience and should be useful to anyone interested in computer modelling and data analysis in physical sciences.
Penulisan seri buku yang berjudul “Erupsi G. Kelud 2007” bertujuan untuk memberikan Gambaran tentang proses naiknya magma ke permukaan yang dipantau melalui beberapa metoda pemantauan antara lain metoda avisual, kegempaan, deformasi, dan kimia. Melalui data-data yang sudah diolah oleh para ahli Vulkanologi di Pusat Vulkanologi dan Mitigasi Bencana Geologi menghasilkan suatu informasi yang s…
