Land Surface Temperature Estimation After A Decade of Aceh Tsunami (Case Study of West Aceh District of 2013 Data)

Thermal images of Landsat satellite can be utilized by estimating the land surface temperature. Moreover, retrieving the temperature estimation before the current event can be done using temporal analysis. Land surface temperature estimation requires Land Surface Emissivity (LSE) value through the Normalized Difference Vegetation Index (NDVI) approach. The result showed that the average land surface temperature in West Aceh District in 2013 was 26.07 °C. The result also showed that the spatial distribution of temperature spread accordingly following the transect pattern. The temperature in the coastal areas was higher than the hinterland. This phenomenon is due to high built-up in the coastal regions, whereby vegetation is dominant in the hinterland areas.

Soil physicochemical properties in oil palm plantations impacted to peatland fire

Currently, Indonesia has 1.7 million hectares of oil palm plantations on peatland (12% of the total area of 13.5 million ha Indonesia’s peatland). As a consequence, fires on peatland become trending topics. Field observation research that aims to determine the physical and chemical characteristics of peat in oil palm plantations has been carried out on several peat locations in West Aceh District: Suakraya village, Johan Pahlawan district (15 years old), Cot Gajah Mati Village, Arongan Lambalek district (1 year old), and Suakpuntong village, Nagan Raya district (10 years old). Substantial changes in the physicochemical properties of soils from oil palm plantations were observed, then evaluated the impact these characteristics to fires on peatland. The analysis soil showed that peatlands around in West Aceh District have physical characteristic: bulk density (BD) from 0, 12 - 0.16 g cm-3; groundwater level of 6 cm (rainy seasons) and 86 cm (dry seasons); moisture or water content in the surface layer (0-20 cm) during the dry season was 505 - 985% The thickness of peat was 457 cm on deep peat in Suakraya, 157 cm on shallow peat in Suakraya, 243 cm in Cot Gajah Mati, 136 cm in Suakpuntong. The chemical characteristic of peat soil has pH H2O 2.9 – 3.9, pH KCl 2.23 - 3.07. The level of maturity of peat in the surface layer in all observation locations is the same, namely hemic. Water content per unit dry weight depends on peatland maturity level (fibric: 540 - 1187%, hemic: 268 - 480% and sapric: 106 - 242%). Ash content per unit dry weight varied from 1.8 – 5.9%, and C-organic content 53.4 – 57.6%. Peat total acidity is 4.2 – 6.4 me g-1, COOH content 0.02 - 0.16 me g-1 and phenolic-OH content 4.2 – 6.2 me g-1. The important result of this study showed that the causes of peatland fires are not caused by the characteristics of peat (occur naturally), but there are triggers of human activities.

The potency of green algae Chaetomorpha crassa Agardh as antioxidant agent from the coastal of Lhok Bubon, West Aceh

The coastal of Lhok Bubon at West Aceh district, Aceh Province is ideal habitat for macro algae, such as Chaetomorpha crassa. The objectives of this paper is to analyse the antioxidant activity of C. crassa; to determine their antioxidant activities correlation with total phenolic contents with different extract of marine macroalgae. The C. crassa samples were collected from the coastal area of Lhok Bubon, West Aceh District (latitude 4011’51.07”N; longitude 9601’42.33”E) Aceh Province, Indonesia in June 2017. Several assay by laboratory approach including chemical composition, extraction, phytochemical screening, DPPH, CUPRAC, FRAP assays and measurement of total phenolic content (TPC) was used. The result showed that the antioxidant activities of three extract of green algae C.crassa clearly indicated that they possess antioxidant activity in different method including DPPH, CUPRAC and FRAP. The correlation has indicated to correlate positively between the total phenol content and antioxidant activity with three methods of antioxidant activity.
