Thamrin no 8, Jakarta 10340, Indonesia 6IRD, R 163, LMV, F-63038 Clermont-Ferrand, France *Corresponding author (e-mail: [email protected]) Abstract: Numerical modelling of a rapid, partial destabilization of Anak Krakatau Volcano (Indonesia) was performed in order to investigate the tsunami triggered by this event. Anak Krakatau, which is largely built on the steep NE wall of the 1883 Krakatau eruption caldera, is active on its SW side (towards the 1883 caldera), which makes the edifice quite unstable. A hypothetical 0.280 km3 flank collapse directed southwestwards would trigger an initial wave 43 m in height that would reach the islands of Sertung, Panjang and Rakata in less than 1 min, with amplitudes from 15 to 30 m. These waves would be potentially dangerous for the many small tourist boats circulating in, and around, the Krakatau Archipelago. The waves would then propagate in a radial manner from the impact region and across the Sunda Strait, at an average speed of 80–110 km h21. The tsunami would reach the cities located on the western coast of Java (e.g. Merak, Anyer and Carita.) 35–45 min after the onset of collapse, with a maximum amplitude from 1.5 (Merak and Panimbang) to 3.4 m (Labuhan). As many industrial and tourist infrastructures are located close to the sea and at altitudes of less than 10 m, these waves present a non-negligible risk. Owing to numerous reflections inside the Krakatau Archipelago, the waves would even affect Bandar Lampung (Sumatra, c. 900 000 inhabitants) after more than 1 h, with a maximum amplitude of 0.3 m. The waves produced would be far smaller than those occurring during the 1883 Krakatau eruption (c. 15 m) and a rapid detection of the collapse by the volcano observatory, together with an efficient alert system on the coast, would possibly prevent this hypothetical event from being deadly. Most recorded historical tsunamis have a seismic more than 200 km from the collapse (Maramai origin, but such events may also be triggered by et al. 2005).

It is attributed to the collapse of the flank of the Anak Krakatau volcano, especially in its southern and southwestern sectors. The volcano-triggered tsunami devastated the coastal areas of western Java and southern Sumatra, and in particular Banten Province and Lampung Province respectively. It caused 437 fatalities and about 14059 injured people mainly attributed to the tsunami generation during the night and to absence of early tsunami warning. The tsunami arrived at the coastal areas of western Java and southern Sumatra in 24 to 37 minutes after the eruption of Anak Krakatau occurred at 21:03 of December 22 and with heights varying from almost 1 to 6 m based on recordings of tidal stations, eyewitnesses and tsunami marks on structures and vegetation. The research team of the University of Athens visited the worst tsunami-affected areas shortly after the disaster aiming to investigate the impact on the natural and built coastal environment.

Thirty-three butterfly species were collected in July 1993 from Sebesi and Sebuku Islands, Indonesia. Most of them were identified at the subspecies level, except several lycaenids. Fourteen species (42.4%) out of the 33 have never been recorded from the Krakataus. This proportion is distinctly higher than 4 to 8 (13.3 to 26.7%) of 30 species recorded from Sebesi in 1989. When these data were taken together, the percentage becomes 32.7 to 40.4% (17 to 21 of 52 species recorded from Sebesi-Sebuku). Comparison between Javanese and Sumatran subspecies in the rate of commonspecies on Sebesi-Sebuku and the Krakataus indicates that the butterfly fauna of the Krakataus have been chiefly derived from Java rather than from Sumatra even though the 2 stepping-stone islands exist between the Krakataus and Sumatra.

  • Analysis of Tourism Mapping in Lampung Province to Optimize Entrepreneurship Development
    Review of Integrative Business and Economics Research, Vol. 8, Supplementary Issue 2 110 Analysis of Tourism Mapping in Lampung Province to Optimize Entrepreneurship Development Khomsahrial Romli* Universitas Bandar Lampung M. Oktaviannur Universitas Bandar Lampung Dora Rinova Universitas Bandar Lampung Yanuarius Yanu Dharmawan Universitas Bandar Lampung ABSTRACT The lack of information relating to the general locations in Lampung makes the tourists/people who want to go to Lampung difficult to meet the locations to be addressed. In an effort to implement the government program on the implementation of the regional autonomy law, the Lampung Provincial government wants to advance its region from the tourism sector because tourism is considered to be a high source of local government revenue. The main factors to consider is that if one is to travel, the question emerge will be about where to go, how far it is, what is interesting, and what activities can be done during the trip there, to answer the questions needed geographical insight about the mapping of tourism location. Geographic information systems are computer systems used to collect, integrate, organize, transform, manipulate, and analyze geographic data. The application of this geographic information system is built with java programming Android using ADT Bundle software which includes Eclipse as java programming language editor, ADT as plug-in for Eclipse, and SDK for the development of Android based application. This application will give benefit for tourists and the people who want to search good places to visit in Lampung. Keywords: Mapping, Tourism, Android programming 1.

  • The Seafloor Morphologhy of Sunda Strait for Laying the Underwater Cables
    THE SEAFLOOR MORPHOLOGHY OF SUNDA STRAIT FOR LAYING THE UNDERWATER CABLES By: Yogi Noviadi1 (Manuscript received 24-July-2010) ABSTRACT The coastal and offshore areas around the Sunda Strait will be developed to be a submarine cable corridor connecting between Java and Sumatra Islands. There are some requirements that should be considered before laying the underwater cables. One of these considerations is to understand the seafloor morphology of the Sunda Strait. The study was conducted based on six of track lines with 1 km line spacing and 4 Cross lines. The water depth obtained then was corrected to the depth of water from the Lowest Water Level (LWL). The seabed condition in the near shore area of Sumatra side is very flat and is influenced by 2 km offshore tide activity. The coast line is characterized by mangrove and fine fraction of sediments (mud and clay). At the Java side, the coastal morphology is characterized by the very steep slope and most of the area is occupied by the industrial activities. Keywords: seafloor morphology, under water cables, Sunda Strait SARI Area pantai dan perairan Selat Sunda akan dikembangkan sebagai bagian dalam penempatan kabel bawah laut yang menghubungkan Pulau Jawa dan Pulau Sumatera. Rencana penempatan kabel bawah laut ini membutuhkan beberapa persyaratan teknis yang harus dipertimbangkan. Salah satu pertimbangan untuk peletakan kabel bawah laut adalah memahami morfologi dasar laut selat Sunda. Penelitian dilakukan berdasarkan 6 lintasan pemeruman dengan jarak antar lintasan 1 km, dan 4 lintasan memotong lintasan utama. Kedalaman laut yang diperoleh kemudian dikoreksi dengan muka laut terendah. Kondisi permukaan dasar laut di sisi pantai Sumatra sangat datar serta sejauh 2 km ke arah laut lepas masih dipengaruhi oleh aktifitas pasang surut.

  • A Case Study of the 2018 Sunda Strait Tsunami K
    Pakoksung et al. Geosci. Lett. (2020) 7:15 https://doi.org/10.1186/s40562-020-00165-5 RESEARCH LETTER Open Access Global optimization of a numerical two-layer model using observed data: a case study of the 2018 Sunda Strait tsunami K. Pakoksung1*, A. Suppasri1, A. Muhari2, Syamsidik3,4 and F. Imamura1 Abstract Following the eruption of Mount Anak Krakatau, a considerable landslide occurred on the southwestern part of the volcano and, upon entering the sea, generated a large tsunami within the Sunda Strait, Indonesia, on December 22, 2018. This tsunami traveled ~ 5 km across the strait basin and inundated the shorelines of Sumatra and Java with a vertical runup reaching 13 m. Following the event, observed feld data, GPS measurements of the inundation, and multibeam echo soundings of the bathymetry within the strait were collected and publicly provided. Using this data- set, numerical modeling of the tsunami was conducted using the two-layer (soil and water) TUNAMI-N2 model based on a combination of landslide sources and bathymetry data. The two-layer model was implemented to nest the grid system using the fnest grid size of 20 m. To constrain the unknown landslide parameters, the diferential evolu- tion (DE) global optimization algorithm was applied, which resulted in a parameter set that minimized the deviation from the measured bathymetry after the event. The DE global optimization procedure was efective at determining the landslide parameters for the model with the minimum deviation from the measured seafoor. The lowest devia- tion from the measured bathymetry was obtained for the best-ftting parameters: a maximum landslide thickness of 301.2 m and a landslide time of 10.8 min.
