3. Summary
“Analysis of Tsunami Inundation due in Pangandaran Tsunami Earthquake in South
Java Area Based on Finite Faults Solutions Model”
On July 17, 2006, a 7.7 magnitude earthquake caused a tsunami that hit 500
kilometers of coast in the south of the island of Java. Because the waves generated were
quite large in comparison to the earthquake's power, the tsunami is classified as an
earthquake-tsunami. Because of the disparity in magnitude between the earthquake and
the ensuing wave, a tsunami modeling research with an estimated fault area, as well as
aftershock and scaling law, is required. The goal of this research is to verify tsunamis that
occur based on the source mechanism and the location of earthquake faults. The
Teleseismic Body-Wave Inversion method, which uses teleseismic waveforms with a
recorded waveform distance between 300 and 900 meters from the source, is used to
determine earthquake source mechanism parameters. Tsunami modeling, on the other
hand, is done through the Community Model Interface for Tsunami (commit) technique.
Strike 2900, dip 100, and rake 1020 were obtained for the fault plane, with dominant slip
heading up to the north-north-west and a maximum value of 1.7 m. The fault plane is
predicted to be 280 kilometers long in the strike direction and 102 kilometers wide in the
dip direction. The highest inundation area is 0.32 km2 in residential districts flanked by
Pangandaran bays, with a maximum run-up of 380.96 cm in the Pasir Putih beach area,
according to tsunami modeling data. Because the tsunami modeling produced
significantly smaller inundation and run-up than the field data, it was hypothesized that
fault plane segmentation occurred as a result of the increased energy released from the
fault area, resulting in waves that were much larger than the modeling results.

“Comparison of Bright Band Radar from GPM and MRR Observation in West
Sumatra”
The melting layer height can be determined by looking at the bright band (BB).
The Micro Rain Radar (MRR) in Kototabang, West Sumatra, was compared to the BB
measurement from the Normal Scan (NS) on the Global Precipitation Measurement
(GPM) (0.23o S; 100.32oE; 865 m above sea level). GPM data was obtained between
December 2014 and June 2018 and compared to MRR data collected between January
2012 and August 2016. These instruments' BB values were compared to those
recommended by the International Telecommunication Union Recommendation (ITU-R)
P.839. The diurnal and seasonal fluctuations in the BB from GPM and MRR were
minimal. With minor differences in diurnal and seasonal changes, BB measurements
from GPM and MRR demonstrate good agreement. When the intensity of solar radiation
is lower, such as at night (18.00-24.00 LT) till early morning, BB observations are more
similar (00.00-06.00 LT). Furthermore, MRR's seasonal variation revealed a minor
bimodal pattern, whereas GPM's did not. As a result, the seasonal fluctuation in both
devices' observations is different. The summer season (June-August(JJA)) showed the
greatest variance in seasonal fluctuation. The mean BB of the two instruments is lower
than the ITU-R model's calculated Freezing Height Level (FHL). However, the BB
altitude of numerous BB from the two devices (>36 percent) is higher than FHL. As a
result, the constant assumption of FHL in West Sumatra for estimating microwave rain
attenuation may not be suitable.

“Designing of Environmental Physics Lecture Programs about Ocean Wave Energy

to Enhance Students' Creative Thinking Skills”
Various problems, such as a lack of renewable energy knowledge and low-level
21st-century skills, function as roadblocks to the development of renewable energy
technology. As a result, it's critical to provide learning that simultaneously increases
renewable energy knowledge while also improving 21st-century abilities. This research at
environmental physics design programs focuses on OWC as a renewable energy source.
This was a progressive study involving stages of analysis, design, and development. Test
tools to measure creative thinking abilities, prototype OWC converters, and project-based
lecture programs implementation plans aimed at delivering creative thinking skills
through a combination of lectures in the classroom, laboratory, and marine environment
were the outputs of this work. Five specialists validated each product. Aside from expert
validation, the creative thinking test instrument was put to the test on 17 students who
had attended environmental physics classes, and the prototype was put to the test by a
marine engineering lab at a university in Bandung. The test instrument data was
calculated for reliability, validity, discrimination, and difficulty levels, while the experts'
validity data was assessed using a content validity ratio. All goods are possible to deploy
based on the results of expert validation. According to the test findings, the prototype
built works well, however only 8 of the 10 questions in the test instrument developed
were eligible to be used. All of the products that were created can be utilized as a
reference and reference for lecturers or professors who are developing renewable energy
learning as well as teaching students creative thinking skills.
