ABSTRAK KONDISI GEOMORFOLOGI DAN KARAKTERISTIK SEDIMEN DASAR LAUT DI WILAYAH PESISIR PERAIRAN SEBAGIN UNTUK EVALUASI TAPAK PLTN DI BANGKA SELATAN. Telah dilakukan penelitian mengenai kondisi geomorfologi dan karakteristik sedimen dasar laut di wilayah perairan sebagian, Bangka Selatan. Informasi geomorfologi dasar laut sangat berguna dalam hal interpretasi struktur-struktur geologi yang berada di dasar laut. Sedangkan informasi karakteristik sedimen dasar laut bermanfaat untuk memberikan gambaran perlapisan batuan dasar laut dalam kaitannya dengan kestabilan tapak PLTN terkait aspek kegempaan dan penentuan posisi water intake. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengevaluasi kondisi geomorfologi dan karakterisasi sedimen dasar laut di perairan Sebagin, Bangka Selatan. Metodologi yang dipakai untuk mengevaluasi kondisi geomorfologi dasar laut adalah Multi Beam Echo Sounder (MBES) dan Single Beam Echo Sounder (SBES). Sedangkan untuk karakterisasi sedimen dasar laut dilakukan dengan pengukuran seismik refleksi resolusi tinggi menggunakan sub bottom profiling (SBP) dan uji sampel sedimen di daerah penelitian. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa daerah penelitian merupakan perairan dangkal dengan kedalaman 1- 59 m. Profil geomorfologi dasar laut daerah penelitian cenderung tidak beraturan dan berdasarkan interpretasi seismik tidak ditemukan adanya patahan. Hasil analisis sedimen dasar laut menunjukkan bahwa, distribusi lumpur mendominasi daerah perairan calon tapak PLTN. Kata Kunci : geomorfologi, tapak PLTN, sedimen, sub bottom profile.   ABSTRACT GEOMORPHOLOGICAL CONDITION AND SEA BOTTOM SEDIMENT CHARACTERISTICS OF SEBAGIN COAST FOR NPP SITE EVALUATION IN SOUTH BANGKA. Study on geomorphological condition and sea bottom sediment in the coastal area of Sebagin, South Bangka Regency, Bangka Belitung Province has been performed. Geomorphological of the seabed was valuable to identify geological structures that exist on the seabed layers. Whereas, sediments seabed characteristics was useful to provide portrait of seabed layer due to the stability of NPP site concerning the seismic aspect and the determination of water intake position. The objective of the study was to evaluate geomorphological condition and sea bed sediment characteristics in the South Bangka sea. Methodology used for evaluating geomorphological of the sea bed were Multi Beam Echo Sounder (MBES) and Single Beam Echo Sounder (SBES). While for sea bottom sediment characteristics, SBP together with sediment sample analysis were used. The result of the study showed that the study area was a shallow water sea with a depth range of 1-59 m. Geomorphological profile of the sea bed tend to be irregular and based on the seismic interpretation, there were no fault exists. Result analysis on the sea bottom sediment showed that clay distribution dominated the study area. Keywords: geomorphology, NPP site, sediment, sub bottom profile.

A new system of electronic scanning is described in which the narrow receiving beam of an acoustic echo-ranging equipment (i.e. asdic) is swept over a wide sector at a very high speed. Since the transmitted pulse covers the whole sector, and the scanning is done at least once per pulse duration, an effectively instantaneous search of the sector is made without any loss of information. The results of trials at sea are shown and possible applications to surveying and navigation are briefly discussed.The use of underwater acoustic echo-ranging systems in the form of echo-sounders (as fitted on most ships nowadays) and asdics (as used, for example, for submarine detection during the war and now applied to whale-finding and fish-finding) is well-known.1 These existing systems use a single beam of acoustic energy, the pulse being transmitted by a transducer (or loudspeaker), and received, after reflection from the sea-bottom or whale or other object, by the same or a different transducer (this time used as a microphone). The time difference between transmitted and received pulses measures the range of the bottom or object, and is recorded on a chart by a stylus moving at a speed equal to the velocity of sound in water multiplied by the ratio of the width of the chart to twice the maximum range of detection. The transmission of the pulse marks the left-hand edge of the paper, and any echo received causes a mark at a point in the stylus sweep corresponding to the range of the object causing the echo. The paper is meanwhile moving at right angles to the stylus sweep, so that the next pulse transmission marks on a line adjacent to the previous one.

<strong>Characteristics of Sea Bottom Morphology and Their Relationships with Sediment Thickness and Current Speed in the Straits of Flores, Lamakera, Boling, and Alor. </strong> The morphology of the seabed of a strait may affect sedimentary deposits and current speeds in the strait. The Straits of Flores, Lamakera, Boling, and Alor connect the Flores Sea and Savu Sea in East Nusa Tenggara Province. This study aimed to determine the characteristics of seabed morphology and its relation to sediment thickness and current speed in the straits. Single Beam Echosounder and SubBottom Profiler were used to measure depth of waters and subsurface. The results showed that the seabed of the Flores Strait was basin-shaped at a depth of about 250 m, while the seabed at the connections between the Straits of Boling, Lamakera, and Alor was a ridge leading to the Flores Sea and Savu Sea with depths up to 3,000 m. The thickness of the sedimentary sediments in the Flores Strait reached 50 m, while in the Straits of Boling, Lamakera, and Alor sedimentary deposits were not visible. In the Flores Strait which was characterized by narrow strait, the current speed ranged from 0.3 to 3.8 m/s. The descriptions of subsurface conditions in these straits can be used for navigation of ships that will cross the straits, especially vessels of more than 2,000 tons. The narrow strait morphology causes the mass of water in this region to have a high current speed. Therefore, the sedimentation occurs only in the Flores Strait due to its basin-shaped seabed.

The purposes of this study were to determine the variability of temperature and its relation to regional processes in the Senunu Bay. The result showed clear vertical stratifications i.e., mixed layer thickness about 39-119 m with isotherm of 27°C, thermocline layer thickness about 83-204 m with isotherm of 14–26°C, and  the deeper layer from the thermocline lower limit to the sea bottom with isotherm <13°C. Temperature and the thickness of each layers varied with season in which during the Northwest Monsoon the temperature was warmer and the mixed layer was thicker than those during Southeast Monsoon. During Southeast Monsoon, the thermocline layer rose  about 24 m. The 2001, 2006, and 2009 (weak La Nina years),  the Indonesia Throughflow (ITF) carried warmer water, deepening thermocline depth and reducing upwelling strength.  In 2003 and 2008 thickening of mixed layer occurred in transition season  was believed  associated with the  arrival of Kelvin Wave from the west. In 2002 and 2004 (weak El Nino period,) ITF carries colder water shallowing thermocline depth and enhancing upwelling strength. In 2007 was believed to be related with positive IODM where the sea surface temperature were decreasing due to intensification of southeast wind which induced strong upwelling. The temperature spectral density of mixed layer and thermocline was influenced by annual, semi-annual, intra-annual and inter-annual period fluctuations. The cross-correlation between wind and temperature showed significant value in the annual period.  Keywords: temperature, thermocline, variability, ENSO, IODM.
