A post-tsunami survey was conducted along the Myanmar coast two months after the 2004 Great Sumatra earthquake ( Mw=9.0) that occurred off the west coast of Sumatra and generated a devastating tsunami around the Indian Ocean. Visual observations, measurements, and a survey of local people's experiences with the tsunami indicated some reasons why less damage and fewer casualties occurred in Myanmar than in other countries around the Indian Ocean. The tide level at the measured sites was calibrated with reference to a real-time tsunami datum, and the tsunami tide level range was 2–3 m for 22 localities in Myanmar. The tsunami arrived three to four hours after the earthquake.

On September 28, 2018, Palu Earthquake caused tremendous damage to the coastal area of Palu, Central Sulawesi, Indonesia. The epicenter was located at 27[Formula: see text]km northeast from Donggala Beach with a 10[Formula: see text]km depth. The magnitude of the earthquake was recorded at 7.4. This study assessed the tsunami overland characteristics and its outcome on the coastal area of Palu. The analysis was conducted based on satellite images and video recordings. The satellite images taken prior and post the event, were analyzed to evaluate the morphological change along the coast. The shoreline retreated up to 158[Formula: see text]m in some places. The tsunami damaged infrastructures along the affected coastal area. Video recordings were collected and analyzed to assess the tsunami overland propagation. The data were verified by field survey. The arrival time and celerity of the wave propagation overland on open area and the urban area were studied. It was found that buildings in the urban area have a significant impact on celerity. The wave propagates faster in the open area than inside the building.

Abstract Toarcian and Aalenian deposits from south west of the Middle Atlas named "Couches du Seloum", were classically considered as a "border facies" of the Middle Atlas trough, which was extensively developed in the northern part of the folded Middle Atlas. Both studies realized on the border of the Bekrit-Timahdite syncline and the Iguer Awragh-Afennourir syncline, allow to specify the stratigraphy, the spatial distribution of deposits and to reconsider the paleogeographic organization of this "border" in the integral context of the northern Middle Atlas trough during the Toarcian and the lower Bajocian interval. A lithostratigraphic succession of the "Couches du Selloum" raised in the western part of Bekrit-Timahdite syncline shows the superposition of three units. Unit 1 is made of clay, reddish and gray marl, locally gypseous, assigned to the lower Toarcian. Unit 2 is essentially composed of a subnodular calcareous series, which consists of discontinuous, wavy and upward-thickening beds. The upper offshore is the most frequent environment. It is mainly made of crinoidal calcarenites, yielding some ammonites and brachiopods rich levels. The Middle Toarcian (Bifrons zone and Gradata zone) was identified in the lower part of this unit. Most of the upper Toarcian zones were distinguished (Speciosum zone, Meneghinii zone and Aalensis zone), they are represented in the upper part by brachiopods (Stroudithyris) and ammonites (Hammatoceras, Dumortieria and Catulloceras) rich set. On several lateral sections, the uppermost part of these pseudo nodular limestones is dated from Opalinum zone (levels with Leioceras and Tmetoceras). Unit 3 shows several facies: bioclastic calcarenites arranged in decimetrics beds, showing cross stratifications; microsparitic limestones in thick beds with silexites. The macrofauna is scarce, often represented by some crinoidal and mollusks fragments; some Zoophycos appear in the top bed of the set. The following deposits illustrate the evolution from the shoreface to the upper offshore. This unit is overlain by a sedimentary discontinuity, materialized by a boring surface, some pockets of accumulations with belemnites and a cover of ferruginous nodules. Ammonites drowned on the discontinuity surface or in the basis of the first interbedded marls which overlies this surface sign the Aalenian-Bajocian transition (top of the Concavum zone and the basis of Discites zone). Immediately above we found some index fauna of the Laeviuscula zone. The series overlaying the "Couches du Selloum" comprises thinning up alternations of limestone/marl, passing progressively to the "Marnes de Boulmane" Formation. Lateral variations and interpretations; SW to NE variations: The thickness and facies variations observed in the Bekrit-Timahdite syncline (C1 to C9), denote the existence of marine intervals generally more dilated, with some marly deposits developed towards the SW; on the contrary towards the NE, series are exclusively calcareous, reduced in thickness, and often condensed in their upper part. The same evolution is observed between the deposits of the Iguer Awragh syncline to the SW and those of Afennourir in the NE [Benshili et al., 1999]. SE to NW variations: Some observations realized in a Toarcian-Aalenian outcrop recently discovered in the sector of Outghalline (C11), shows that an uplifted area separates the marly basin of Bekrit from the Iguer Awragh one. Such variations denote a partition of the Toarcian Selloum basin, located in south west of the Middle Atlas trough, into several entities which are regrouped under the denomination of "Blocks of Selloum"; two NE-SW trending notably subsiding gutters are recognized, the Iguer Awragh-Afennourir and the Bekrit-Timahdite, separated by a shoal (ridge of Ijadrane). Paleogeographic framework of the SW border of the Middle Atlas trough: A synthesis of the geometry of the "Blocks of Selloum" and some paleogeographic and structural features of the NW border of the Middle Atlas trough, as they appear in a recent synthesis [Benshili, 1989; Elmi et al., 1989; Benshili et Elmi, 1994; Charriere, 1990; Fedan, 1993; Laadila, 1996; Sabaoui, 1998; El Arabi et al., 1999], is shown in 3 episodes from Toarcian to Aalenian. The southwestern part of the Middle Atlas studied here, does not appear in any case as a coastal area surrounding the Middle Atlas trough, but like a gulf occupied by marine deposits which is isolated from the Middle Atlas trough by the shoal areas called the "Haut-fond de Boulmane". In the Middle Atlas trough, the sequences prograde in a NE direction and show blocks tilting generally towards the same direction. On the other hand, in the "Blocks of Selloum" the tilting acts toward the SW, against the direction of the global Tethyan polarity.

Brackishwater Pond

Spatial distribution of brackishwater pond soil has important role in the system of bioenvironment including brackishwater pond environment. This research was aimed to determine the spatial distribution of some chemical characteristics of an acid sulfate soil-affected brackishwater pond in coastal area of Luwu Regency South Sulawesi Province, Indonesia. ALOS AVNIR-2 images (acquisition 16 May 2008, 16 October 2008, 17 September 2009) were integrated with Indonesian Topographic maps to obtain base map. Sampling soil points were determined by simple random sampling in 104 points for two different soil depths i.e. 0-0.2 m and 0.5-0.7 m. A total of 18 soil chemical characteristics was measured in the field and analyzed in the laboratory. Geostatistic using kriging method in the ArcGIS 9.3 software was used to interpolate the data. The results of this study indicated that in general pond soil chemical characteristics in Luwu Regency could be categorized with high variability or relatively heterogenic wi th the value of var iation coefficient more than 36%. The soil characteristics that explain acidity had shown similar pattern in spatial distribution as well as other soil characteristics with soil nutrient. The high value of pH and low value of PO4 were generally found in the northern part of Luwu Regency, including East Lamasi, East Walenrang, Bua, and Ponrang Subdistricts. It is recommended that soil management in brackishwater ponds of Luwu Regency could be based on soil chemical characteristics so its could improve the production through minimizing the input, increasing carrying capacity, and avoiding environmental degradation.

Seven species of snakes were revealed in 1997–1998, six of which (Natrix tessellata, N. natrix, Zamenis longissimus, Hierophis caspius, Platyceps najadum, and Elaphe sauromatus) were in the lower part of the slope, in the area of mediterranean vegetation. In 2001– 2003, the first three species were revealed only, and their numbers significantly decreased, reaching a maximum in the middle part of the slope, in the zone of transition from mediterranean vegetation to broad-leaved forests. In 1999–2000, the recreational load on the coastal area sharply rose, which probably was the cause for the species composition reduction and changes of the spatial distribution in snakes.

Demak coastal area is one of vulnerable areas to tidal flood. Tidal flood that occurs continuously has negative impacts on coastal communities. These negative impacts include the effects of physical, social, economic, and environmental. Thus the necessary existence of community adaptation strategies to face the tidal flood. This study aims to assess adaptation strategies of communities in Demak coastal areas. The methods used in this research are the field survey, in-depth interview and Focus Group Discussion (FGD). Field survey was conducted to collect data on the condition of research area. In-depth interview was conducted to obtain information from the relevant authorities, namely Regional Disaster Management Agency and Department of Public Work. Data were analyzed descriptively qualitative. The results showed that people in the Demak coastal area has several strategies to face tidal flood that often occur in the region. Adaptation is performed on residential buildings, roads, and ponds. Adaptations made by raising building houses, making embankment, planting mangroves in the coastal areas, and forming communities caring tidal flood.
