Abstrak
The emerging Global Navigation Satellites System GPS, GLONASS and Galileo to determine coordinates in sub-centimeter requires a high precision geoid to convert the
ellipsoidal height into the orthometric height for practical use. The use of GPS technology in surveys, mapping, and engineering for modern heights determination will increase
tremendously due to its efficiency. Since a precise gravimetric geoid model for Indonesia has not yet been produced, consequently, height measurements using Global Navigation
Satellite System GNSS techniques are not fully implemented in practice. Therefore, it is urgent to establish a good gravimetric geoid for the country. The geoid is not only to
support the geospatial infrastructures development but also required in studies of sea level changes, absolute ocean circulation and the vertical datum unification. To compute
such a precise gravimetric geoid a good coverage of the gravity data are needed globally and locally. The current situation of the local gravity data coverage for geoid determination
in Indonesia is far from sufficient for a high precision geoid. For that reason, it is required to accelerate the completion of dataset nationwide. The Geodynamics Departement,
DTU Space has developed an airborne gravity survey technique which will accelerate the regional data collection. BAKOSURTANAL in cooperation with the Geodynamics
Departement, DTU Space during 2008-2009 has completed the gravity data collections for Sulawesi and part of Kalimantan and will finalized the data collection in Kalimantan
and part of Papua this year.

Abstrak
Accurate estimates of sea-level change in the pre-satellite era are needed to validate geophysical and climate models, and resolve tectonic histories of strain accumulation and
relief along mega thrusts. Exploring geographic trends in sea level is of critical importance because sea-level changes are not globally uniform due to isostatic deformation of the
solid Earth. We propose to collect the first accurate and precise sea level data from near Borneo for the last 2000 years. In the first year covered by this proposal, we will identify
appropriate sites, refine methodologies, and produce preliminary sea-level reconstructions using coral micro atolls and microfossil-based transfer functions.

Abstrak
Indonesian coral reefs are among the most diverse marine ecosystems in the world, yet very little is known about the long-term history of these reefs. Most available
data have been collected in the first half of the twentieth century, and suggest that, geologically speaking, the onset of high diversity is a relatively young phenomenon.
Timing has been correlated to large-scale tectonic processes, related to the northward movement of Australia and the restriction of the Indonesian Throughflow. The proposed
research aims at improved documentation of the onset of diversification, and correlation to local, regional and global processes. We will do this by ensuring that at each localities
stratigraphy, paleoenvironment and diversity of key taxa are documented by allocated teams of researches. The proposed research area has been proven to be rich in well
preserved fossils and sections with dating possibilities.

Abstrak
Although the 2004 Sumatra-Andaman earthquake was one of the biggest earthquakes in history, its tsunami generation mechanism is remained unresolved. Japanese marine
geosciences attain to high level but do not have experience and knowledge in studies offshore of Sumatra. In the other hand, Indonesian researchers have the most abundant
knowledge and experiences for the surveillance study in their home country. To complete this research, Indonesian knowledge and experience are needed. Science communities
are required to pursue the past, present, and future of great earthquakes offshore of Sumatra. This research contributes it through detailed marine surveys. When the tsunami
generation mechanism during the 2004 rupture is clarified by this research, we need to spread out it in the world. Especially, such an effort is thought to be the most important
for the Indonesian people. Researchers of the home country Indonesia is the most appropriate to explain it plainly and continuously to the public in the home country. The
public relation activities in Indonesia would be positively supported by the Japanese team throughout the bilateral frame work even after this join program ends.

We propose to investigate late Pleistocene and Holocene climate history in central Indonesia by recovering and analyzing new sediment cores from two large lakes. Towui
and Matano, on the island of Sulawesi. This research builds upon our previous seismic reflection and filed surveys of these lakes that document the presence thick piles of highly
stratified sediment accumulating at rates ideal for late-Plestocene paleoclimate studies. We propose torecover new sediments core from these lakes with site selection guided by
our existing seismic reflection grid. Sediment core will be shipped to the US for analyses by American and Indonesian collaborators, including automated coe logging magnetic
susceptibility, density, sediment color and sediment composition inorganic carbon content and mineralogy, organiccarbon, nitrogen, CN ratio, and chemistry from X-ray

fluorescence, as well as novel molecular isotopic tools, particularly the hydrogen isotopic composition of terrestrial leaf waxes. We also propose to conduct an air-gun seismic
reflection survey of Lake Towuti in order to evaluate the total depth of sediments in this lake, the underlying basin tectonics and architecture, and the potential of this lake for
continental scientific drilling. This work will provide fundamental new insights into the history of Indonesian convention and hydrology and its relationships to global climate
changes, as well as new information regarding the age, origin, and past changes in the Malili Lakes, a unique and fragile lake ecosystem.

Abstrak
This proposal for joint research between the Geological Survey Institute at Bandung and the University of Wollongong, aims at excavating Quaternary deposits on Flores
and Sulawesi in order to obtain further information on the spatial and chronological distribution of fossils, stone artefacts, paleolandscape features and depositional processes
at known and yet to be discovered new sites on these islands.
Interdisciplinary surveys of the Soa Basin in Flores and the Walanae Basin in South Sulawesi, will better document the spatial and chronological distribution of
paleolandscape features, sedimentary facies, resources, fossils and stone artifacts. This will be integrated with systematic collection of volcanic ash and lacustrine samples for
chemical fingerprinting, sourcing, interpretation and high precision ages.The aim is to reconstruct the geomorphic, landscape and paleoenvironmental history of the basin in
greater detail, to provide a context for the earlier excavations, and to identify further sites with potential to yield Middle Pleistocene hominin skeletal remains.

Abstrak
Indonesia faces myriad tsunami sources nearby. Most coincide with subduction zones, which run for thousands of kilometers along the country’s Indian Ocean and Pacific
Ocean sides and curl into the archipelago as well. No other nation has lost more lives to tsunamis in the last 200 years. Even without the 2004 Indian Ocean and 1883 Krakatau
tsunamis, Indonesia’s tsunami losses in recent centuries surpass even thos of Japan.
The main way to reduce losses from future Indonesian tsunamis is to provide coastal communities with evacuation guidance tailored to local tsunami potential. As happened
in Aceh in 2004, most tsunamis in Indonesia start coming ashore within a few tens of
173

2010
minutes. Deep-sea tsunami detectors, though needed to confirm that an Indonesian tsunami is headed for Thailand or India, offer less for Indonesia itself. Tsunami survival
in Indonesia depends more on evacuating in the minutes after an earthquake at the tsunami’s source. To help guide such evacuations, however, Indonesian tsunami scientists
face the daunting task of estimating the tsunami potential of each of the archipelago’s tsunami sources.
Indonesian historical records, fragmental before the 19th-century spread of Dutch authority, are unlikely to express the full range of tsunami sizes or to show how often
and how regularly the tsunamis recur. The 2004 tsunami, for example, accompanied a magnitude-9.2 earthquake that suddenly expended centuries’s worth of stored up
tectonic-plate motion along 1500 km of the Sunda subduction zone. Written records of earthquakes on this tsunami source, however, span less than 200 years and include no
earthquake larger than magnitude 7.9.
Since the 2004 tsunami I have devoted most of my work to assisting scientists from Indian Ocean countries in further applications of tsunami geology. The main goal of the
proposed work is to help build and sustain a community of Indonesian tsunami geologists. I also hope to bring learn Indonesian lessons that will help me promote tsunami safety in
other countries.

examples of the effects of past global and regional environmental changes. Analysis of the faunal change at some key moments will provide understanding of reef ecosystem
functioning during times of accelerated environmental change.
The Early Miocene is a key period in the development of the present day centre of maximum marine diversity in Indonesia Renema et al 2008. Many groups of large
benthic foraminifera have their first occurrence, and several typical Oligence genera go extinct. Detailed understanding of the faunal succession and environmental change in
this period will increase our insight in why and when the Indonesian biodiversity hotspot developed.
The EU-funded ITN research program `Throughflow` focuses at this time period, and aims at establishing a greater understanding of key processes in the biotic
response of coral reefs to long-term environmental changes resulting from closure of the Indonesian Throughflow during the Oligence-Miocene transition ~25 Million years
ago. Key elements are detailed sampling of key areas, establishing a detailed sampling stratigraphic framework, as well as detailed biodiversity assessments. During mapping
of the Samarinda-Sangkulirang area in the first part of the 20th century e.g. Felix 1921; Gerth, 1923; Rutten 1910 etc numerous well preserved corals, mollusks and other fossils
were collected in the region, from numerous localities. The mollusks and foraminifera from this region represent a variety of depositional settings, ranging from mangrove
dominated to fully marine. The presence of such a wide variety of environmental settings and accompanying fauna in Oligence to Miocene deposits should add to our knowledge
of the timing and development of the current high diversity in the IWP.
The proposed ieldwork aims at: 1.
Locaing fossil bearing secions and outcrops that allow the study of biodiversity and paleoenvironment around the Oligocene-Miocene transiion
2. Relocaing fossil bearing localiies in the Sangkulirang area
3. Special atenion will be given to locate areas with excepional preservaion, which
might yield fossil suitable for detailed climate reconstrucions using stable isotope analysis
This pilot study will also serve as a reconnaissance survey for the ITN research

The Earth Observatory of Singapore EOS, LIPI, and colleagues are involved in a number of ongoing scientific and geological hazards-related research projects in Sumatra
that require regular, repeated visits to various locations in and near Sumatra. In addition to scheduled visits that are sometimes a few months apart or less , there is a need to respond
quickly following large earthquakes, such as the Banyak Island earthquake of 6 April 2010 : after any large earthquake, it is highly desirable that scientists, such as ourselves, visit the
region affected very soon after the event, because a observable markers that provide crucial information degrade rapidly with time, and b we wish to make a forecast for
future earthquake hazards as soon as possible after any large earthquake.

For these reasons, we wish to secure year-long annually renewable multiple-entry research visas for each EOS scientist who will be making frequent trips to the field or who
is likely to be needed in the field following such an event. If these visas can be acquired in advance, then all EOS personnel who might be involved in such work can deploy into
affected areas within hours to days following a natural disaster, instead of waiting weeks to months for a research visa to be procured, as is now necessary. In that way, we can avoid
delays that can significantly hamper our efforts to understand what has happened and that can limit our ability to forecast what may occur in the future. In addition, it will ease
the burden on both the EOS scientists and our LIPI sponsors, for those EOS scientists who need to make frequent trips to the field.
In this proposal, we summarize projects that are anticipated in the coming year. Following the proposal, we attach, as appendices supporting material, complete
proposals for each project. Large sections of the Sunda megathrust have failed progressively over the past
decade in an extraordinary earthquake sequence. One question of great humanitarian and scientific importance is how the remaining un-ruptured and under-ruptured patches
might fail in coming decades. We use annually banded coral microatolls, which preserve precise information about past relative sea levels, to deduce tectonic histories centuries
into the past. We propose to continue work above the 2004, 2005, and 2007 rupture patches-from Simeulue to the Mentawai Islands-to resolve lingering questions and write
up results supporting the particularly high hazards we infer for the near future.
We will also be conducting a trip for the purpose of investigating the effects of the April 2010 Banyak Island earthquake.

Abstrak
Being situated within the Western Tropical Pasific, a key region of the global climate system IPCC 2007 the Indonesian archipelago provides an excellent opportunity to gain
a better understanding of processes controlling natural climatic variability using highly- resolved terrestrial archives. Primary processes controlling Indonesian climate on seasonal
to interannual scales with global significance include the migration of the Intertropical Convergence Zone ITCZ, the Interaction of the tropical Indopacific with the large Asian
and Australian Monsoons, and large scale ocean-atmosphere processes such as the El Nino Southern Oscillation ENSO and the Indian Ocean Dipole IOD. The sensitivity of the
Indonesian environment to these various climatic subsystems makes Indonesia invaluable for paleoclimatic and paleoenviromental reconstructions on interannual to geologic
timescales. Furthermore it makes Indonesia a promising target for understanding climatic- environmental changes, in particular, for studying the interplay between components in
the climate-environment system, such as land ocean linkage, ENSO-IOD coupling, and others. Apart from its important climatic features Indonesia is furthermore a hotspot of
neotectonic and associated volcanic activity with extensive impact on socio-economic structures. To date relatively little is know about the frequency and magnitude of volcanic
events and earthquake activity in the past. Therefore investigations aiming at a better understanding of the frequency and magnitude of these often severe events in the past
can help to provide a base for future predictions and mitigation strategies.

In reference to the Memorandum of Agreement signed in December 20th, 2009 between Istitute Teknologi Bandung-Indonesia and University of lowa-USA, we propose
to undertake a Joint Field Research Program in Java during 2010. The proposed research for 2010 is a field investigation on Quaternary Geology and Paleoenvironment of the
Ngandong site and surrounding areas, Central and East Java, the location from which fourteen Homo erectus fossils were excavated from 1931-1933 by the Geological Survey
of the Netherlands Indies Table 1 The human-fossil assemblage decades ago became a key reference collection in human evolution sciences, the depositional history and
geological age of the fossil-bearing deposits continue to be shrouded in controversy. Over the course of the last several years, our Indonesia-U.S team has discovered previously
unavailable maps, photographs and reports done by the Survey geologists. These new archival materials clearly define the location and stratigraphy of the site.
The 2010 fieldwork will focus on quaternary geology, sedimentology and stragtigraphical studies of the discovery beds. The result of this work will prepare the
way for refining the geological age, assessing the origin and paleoenvironment of the Ngandong Homo Erectus.

Fieldwork will be targeted the basement rocks of the Schwaner Mountains region is West and Central Kalimantan. Specifically targeting Pre-Carboniferous rocks of the Pinoh
Metamorphic Group which outcrop on the northern margin of the Schwaner batholiths. Detailed field study will be completed to assess the nature and contact of metamorphic
basement rocks. These will then be dated in order to determine the sequence of deformation. Granitoid rocks of the region will also be sampled and highly resistant
minerals subjected to chemical analyses which may lead to better understanding of the age and origin of the basement fragment. Modern river sediments will also be sampled
from the region in order to characterize heavy mineral assemblages draining from the source lithologies.
The characterization of this metamorphic core and the Schwaner Mountain lithologies will provide invaluable data for tectonic reconstructions as well as sediment
provenance studies in the region. Fieldwork will be undertaken with the collaboration of the Institute Teknologi
Bandung ITB Indonesia. A counterpart from the ITB will accompany me on the fieldwork.
The field targets include the region to the northern extent of the Schwaner Mountains, south of the Malawi basin. Pinoh Metamorphic Group rocks are described in
a longitudinally confined region running E-W 00.60o S to 01.60o S from 110. 00o E to 114. 00o E. Outcrops will be sought along river traverses running south from the Malawi
River into the Schwaner. Detailed observations of field relationships will be taken in order to sample fresh outcrop of basement rocks that have been little affected by subsequent
contact metamorphism. River sediments will be collected throughout the area visited for provenance analysis as well as samples of granitoid bodies.
