4. REMARKS
OUTLINE
LIPI is one of the old research institution in Indonesia LIPI is established in 1967
There are 52 office works spread in Indonesia from west to east Indonesia territory
There are 15 natural laboratories under LIPI coordination that consisted geological , marine, and botanical gardens. Equiped by two Research Vessel
There are of about 1.200 scientists and 500 technicians in LIPI that work in almost all science and technology disciplines from natural, engineering to social sciences
LIPI’S PROFILE
• NATURAL RESOURCES AND ENVIRONMENTAL CHANGES- Water- Biodiversity
• CLIMATE CHANGES- Paleoclimate- Impact on small Islands- Impact on low land area- Impact on river basins
• NATURAL DISASTER- Earthquake and Tsunami- Land movements
Approach: Multi Disiplinary Approach
LIPI’S FOCUS ON GLOBAL ISSUES
• NATURAL RESOURCES AND ENVIRONMENTAL CHANGES- Europe, Japan, Korea, USA
• CLIMATE CHANGES- Australia, Europe, USA
• NATURAL DISASTER- Europe, Japan, USA
International Collaboration
• LIPI collaborates with one University/or more universities.- Caltech, IPG Paris, Cambridge Univ, RHIN-Japan, KORDI etc
• LIPI and other national institutes works with more than one universities/Institutes, - JSPS, JST-JICA, Germany etc
• LIPI and other national institutes collaborate with multi- countries. - Study on subduction zone segmentation: The 2004 and 2005 Sumatran Earthquakes [UK, France, Germany, USA, India, Indonesia]
Type of Collaboration
To get scientific understanding in several aspects of science and technology
Main goal of collaboration
Specific goal and activities of collaboration1. Capacity building:
Scientific training;Educational program for Master, Doctorate and Post Doc Program;Exchange visits of scientists; Upgrading of LIPI laboratories
2. Joint activities:
Organizing joint academic conferences; 3. Exchange of data and information
The period of collaboration is depended on the agreement among parties one year or multi years)
INTERNATIONAL COLLABORATION ON GEOLOGICAL SCIENCES IN SUMATRA
1967 - 1980 : - Kyoto University Geology of Sumatra- Cornel University Sumatra Subduction
1980 – 1990 : - French Universities Discovery of Mentawai Fault Zone
1990 - 2008 : - Caltech Discovery of Mentawai Locked Segment (1999)Mapped of Sumatra Fault Zone (2002)
- IPG Paris Mapped Potential Submarine Landslide alongMentawai Fault Zone (2008)Deep Seismic Reflecion Study
- Japan Paleoseismology and Paleotsunami studyElectromagnetic Study
- Germany Vulnerability Risk Modelling in Padang- Cambridge Univ Microseismic study- UNESCO Community Preparedness

INTERNATIONAL COLLABORATION ON GEOLOGICAL SCIENCES IN SUMATRA
(cont.)
Scientific Results: - Discovery of Mentawai Fault Zone- Discovery of Mentawai Locked Segment (1999)- Mapped of Sumatra Fault Zone (2002)- Mapped Potential Submarine Landslide along Mentawai Fault Zone (2008)- Trace of Paleotsunami in Sumatra
Input for Hazard map of Padang City
Capacity Building:- PhD: 3 (Japanese Universities), 6 (French Univ, 2 from LIPI), 1 (Caltech)- LIPI is considered as strongest capacity on earthquake study in Indonesia.

Two researchers of LIPI and Caltech observed the micro atolin Mentawai Islands of Sumatra. They found several paleo-earthquakesIn the past.
Several segments in front of Sumatra: The MFZ is the Mentawai Fault Zone. The 1797 and the 1833 sources is known as the locked segments. It could be released as a giant earthquake in the future. Two closest cities (Padang and Bengkulu) have prepared to face such a big earthquake and tsunamis.Now, we have

Several major earthquakes occur recently close to the Mentawai locked segments

Local SOP development Workshop/Training
Merging school, local community and authorities SOP, and test them through integrated community preparedness exercise/drill
“kentongan”, one of the local tools for tsunami warning is utilized by community and schools, during the exercise/drill
SCHOOL-BASED DISASTER PREPAREDNESS
CONCLUDING REMARKS
1. Severe natural changes phenomena occur in several places 2. The processes are complexes and need to be undestand deeply3. To protect our society from such phenomena, international scientific
cooperations are needed
