Implementasi Kuliah Lapangan Geofisika Sebagai Wujud Pengabdian Kepada Masyarakat Untuk Identifikasi Manifestasi Sumber Panas Bumi di Daerah Tulehu

Abstract

With the advancement of technology in the earth sciences, the identification, investigation, and interpretation of subsurface conditions to identify natural resources beneath the surface has become easier. Geophysical technology is a powerful method to support this process. Using currently popular geophysical methods, this is not difficult to accomplish. The geomagnetic method, in particular, is a well-established geophysical method in the exploration world. This method is highly sensitive to vertical changes in the subsurface, making it highly suitable for application, particularly in geophysical fieldwork, to identify hot springs. It is hoped that students, the community service team, the community, and the Tulehu regional government will experience the positive impact of this program. As is known, the Tulehu region boasts abundant natural resources, yet they remain largely unexplored. Therefore, through the implementation of geophysical fieldwork as a community service activity, these manifestations can be properly investigated. In fact, with the application of geophysical applications, hot springs have been identified at several locations. This location has become iconic in education (geological-geophysical studies) and for tourism (geotourism) as a learning reference. In the future, the community service team hopes to continue developing other activities and innovations using a geophysical approach so that they can have a positive impact on various general audiences.
