Hasil kegiatan penelitian geologi kelautan Lembar Peta 0421menghasilkan data seismik dan pemeruman sepanjang lebih kurang 963,73 kilometer. Dari peta batimetri ditemukan beberapa kelurusan dengan arah hampir baratlaut-tenggara dan diduga merupakan sesar. Hasil penafsiran data menunjukkan bahwa stratigrafi rekaman seismik, daerah penelitian secara garis besar dapat dibagi menjadi 4 (empat) unit yaitu unit 1; unit 2; unit 3, dan unit 4. Jika dikaitkan dengan geologi regional daerah penelitian, unit 1 diduga dapat disebandingkan dengan Formasi Peunasu berumur Miosen, unit 2 diduga dapat disebandingkan dengan Formasi Seurula & Formasi Julurayeu berumur Pliosen, unit 3 diduga dapat disebandingkan dengan endapan volkanik Toba berumur Plistosen, dan unit 4 diduga dapat disebandingkan dengan aluvial berumur Holosen. Pembagian unit tersebut berdasarkan pada adanya bidang tidakselarasan (onlap), dan pepat erosi (erosional truncation). Kata kunci : lembar peta 0421, unit seismik, ketidakselarasan. The results of marine geological investigation of map of sheet 0421 gave a data of seismic and sounding approximately 963.73 kilometers long. Bathymetric map indicates some alignment with the direction of nearly northwest-southeast and presumed to be faults. Seismic data interpretation indicate that the stratigraphy of the study area can broadly be divided into 4 (four) units those are unit 1; unit 2; unit 3, and unit 4. Correlation balance with regional geology, show that seismic, unit 1 correlates with Peunasu Formation of Miocene, unit 2 correlates with Seurula Formation and Julurayeu Formation of Pliocene, unit 3 correlates with Old Toba volcanic deposites of Pleistocene, and unit 4 correlates with Alluvium of Holocene. The division of seismic units was based on unconformity (onlap) and (erosional truncation). Keywords: map of sheet 0421, seismic units, unconformity.

Karimata Strait is a part of Sunda Shelf connected South China Sea with Malacca Strait, Indian Ocean and Java Sea. This shelf was a large Sunda Land that has been detected by many evidences as records of various paleo-environments. The purpose of this study is to recognize the characteristic community of ostracoda related to the environmental history of this shelf. Three selected cores sediments represented east (A), middle (B) and west (C) parts of Karimata Strait were used for Ostracoda based on standard method on micropaleontology. Additional method was applied of SEM-EDX analysis to abnormal specimens. The result shows that there are 43 species of ostracoda belonging to 34 genera identified in the study area. The highest number of ostracoda is found in Core B, in the middle part of the strait, and the lowest value belongs to the Core A that close to the land of Kalimantan. Several genera of Ostracoda were documented in all cores: Actinocythereis, Cytherella, Cytherelloidea, Keijia, Keijella, Hemicytheridea, Hemikrithe, Neocytheretta, Neomonoceratina, Loxoconcha, Pistocythereis, Stigmatocythere and Xestoleberis. Vertically, ostracoda are mostly found in the upper part of the cores and decrease or disappear in the lower part of Cores A and C where dominated by black organic materials. It may relate to a wide swampy area before the last sea level rise as part of the history of the SundaShelf about 15,000 years ago. Some major elements (C, CaO, Al2O4, FeO, SiO2, MgOdan SO3 covered or filled abnormal specimens that can provide additional information about environmental changes in the study area, such as Carbon may relate to charcoal from land of Kalimatan and Sumatera Keywords: Ostracoda, subsurface sediment, EDX, environmental changes, Karimata Strait Selat Karimata merupakan bagian dari Paparan Sunda menghubungkan Laut China Selatan dengan Selat Malaka, Samudera Hindia, dan Laut Jawa. Paparan ini merupakan sebuah Dataran Sunda yang luas yang terdeteksi dari bukti-bukti sebagai rekaman berbagai lingkungan purba.Tujuan dari studi ini adalah untuk mengetahui karakteristik komunitas ostracoda berkaitan dengan sejarah lingkungan paparan ini. Terpilih tiga sedimen pemercontoh inti mewakili bagian timur (A), tengah (B) dan barat (C) Selat Karimata digunakan untuk studi Ostracoda berdasarkan metoda standar pada mikropaleontologi. Metoda tambahan adalah aplikasi SEM-EDX terhadap spesimen abnormal. Hasil menunjukkan bahwa di daerah penelitian teridentifikasi 43 spesies ostracoda termasuk dalam 34 genera. Jumlah ostracoda tertinggi ditemukan di Core B dari bagian tengah selat dan terendah di Core A yang berdekatan dengan daratan Kalimantan. Beberapa genera ostracoda ditemukan di semua sampel: Actinocythereis, Cytherella, Cytherelloidea, Keijia, Keijella, Hemicytheridea, Hemikrithe, Neocytheretta, Neomonoceratina, Loxoconcha, Pistocythereis, Stigmatocythere dan Xestoleberis. Secara vertikal, ostracoda umumnya ditemukan di bagian atas dari core dan menurun atau menghilang di bagian bawah Core A dan C yang di dominasi oleh material organik berwarna hitam. Hal ini kemungkinan berkaitan dengan daerah rawa yang luas dan sebelum muka laut naik terakhir pada sejarah Paparan Sunda sekitar 15.000 tahun yang lalu. Beberapa zat kimia (C, CaO, Al2O3, FeO, SiO2, MgO dan SO3) menutupi atau mengisi spesimen abnormal dapat memberi informasi tambahan tentang perubahan lingkungan di daerah penelitian, seperti karbon mungkin berkaitan dengan arang dari daratan Kalimantan dan Sumatera. Kata kunci: Ostracoda, sedimen bawah dasar laut, EDX, perubahan lingkungan, Selat Karimat

To investigate detailed fault distributions and shallow geological structure offshore northwestern Sumatra, we obtained high-resolution Multi-Channel Seismic (MCS) reflection data around the Sunda Trench, trench slope, and forearc high regions offshore northwestern Sumatra. In general, trench-parallel anticlinal ridges are distributed from trench slope region to forearc high region. Two kinds of different vergence systems are characterized in the Sumatra forearc region; landward vergence is dominant in the lower trench slope region, and seaward vergence is dominant in the forearc high region. Moreover, piggyback or slope basins are recognized between anticlinal ridges. Deformation in the uppermost part of these basins, that is referred to 'recent' deformation in this paper, can be identified not only along major thrusts but also between major thrusts and the lower trench slope, suggesting these are related to recently active faulting. Several but the largest number of such deformation are distributed along a major thrust located in the middle of the forearc high region, whereas few are done along other major thrusts.

Tujuan penelitian seismik saluran banyak di Laut Flores, Nusa Tenggara Timur adalah untuk mengetahui kondisi geologi bawah permukaan dasar laut. Daerah penelitian merupakan daerah yang aktif secara tektonik dan diekspresikan dalam bentuk prisma akresi, vulkanik tidak aktif dan sesar-sesar aktif yang membentuk morfologi dasar laut. Berdasarkan penafsiran stratigrafi seismik lapisan bawah permukaan dasar laut terdiri dari empat satuan batuan: Batuan Dasar, Prisma Akresi, Gunungapi Bawah Laut, dan Sedimen Klastika. Sedimen Klastika ini dibagi menjadi lima unit. Kata kunci: seismik, morfologi dasar laut, sesar aktif, Laut Flores The purpose of the study of seismic multi channel in Flores Sea, East Nusa Tenggara is to recognize subsurface geology condition. The study area is an active tectonic that expressed by accretion prisms, inactive vulcanic and active faults form seabed morphology. Based on seismic stratigraphy interpretation, the study area is composed of four rocks units: Basement rocks, Accretionary Wedge, Seamount, and Clastic Sediments. This clactic sediment is divided into five units. Keywords: seismic, seabed morphology, active fault, Flores Sea
