Pemetaan Geotapak Pulau Ular di Langkawi, Malaysia

Abstract

Geosite mapping of Pulau Ular was conducted using remote sensing which includes data from topographic maps, aerial photograph, and satellite image as well as a photographs made by a drone. A geomorphological map was generated by remote sensing analysis. The next step was field work/observation to produce a geological map. Field observation identified 10 sites and localities with important and significant geological and landscape features for an understanding of the geological formation of this island such as rock, fossil, sedimentary structure, tectonic structure and erosion feature. Using all this information a geosite map of Pulau Ular was constructed and can be used in conservation planning and geotourism development.
