Abstract
Abstract Krui Waters, Lampung, Indonesia, is an area that has the potential for a tsunami disaster. Local tsunamis can be caused by underwater landslides owing to ground movement and gravitational forces. Imaging underwater conditions using sonar and shallow seismic systems is an interesting research topic for geological disaster researchers. Underwater landslides are very important for disaster mitigation, especially for tsunami prediction. This research aims to identify the characteristics of underwater landslides around Krui Waters, Lampung, Indonesia, using imaging analysis methods from sonar data and a sub-bottom profiler (SBP). The underwater landslide phenomenon in this area is still not known in detail, and therefore requires further research. All data were obtained from the results of hydrographic, geological, and geophysical surveys of RV Baruna Jaya IV in 2020. The sonar data shows surface characteristics such as the presence of Furrows (Gravel Waves), Cobble (Boulder), as well as Canyons and landslides or mass movements rocks. SBP data show the characteristics of the seabed in the form of a canyon with a slope greater than 160. Finally, the morphological characteristics and features obtained could possibly be a potential source of local tsunamis owing to the high slope.
