Abstract

Geomorphological research is urgently needed to be carried out in areas with geothermal potential such as in Talumopatu. Geomorphological analysis was chosen to complete the data in the early stages of the geothermal exploration of the study area. The purpose of this study was to determine the geomorphological characteristics of the study area. This study uses image interpretation methods and field excursions to observe the morphology of the study area. The stages of data processing use software applications based on Geographic Information Systems (GIS). The Geomorphological analysis consists of analysis of morphography, morphometry and morphogenesis. The analysis results are then compiled to produce a geomorphological map that refers to the van Zuidam classification. In accordance with the results of the analysis, it can be concluded that the geomorphological condition of the study area is divided into three parts, namely the Alluvial Plain Unit, Peneplains Unit, and Residual Hills Unit. © 2023 The Authors.
