Background
Indonesia
is one of the most seismically active countries in the world and
they are frequently attacked by severe earthquakes and volcanic
eruptions. Earthquakes, such as the 2004 Sumatra-Andaman Earthquake
(M9), the 2006 Yogyakarta Earthquake (M6.3), and the very recent
of March 2007 Solok (Padang) Earthquake (M6.3), occur frequently
and cause destructive disasters. It is very important to prevent
these disasters in Indonesia.
Despite great efforts, the short-term earthquake prediction has
not been achieved in the world. The electromagnetic anomalies
related to earthquakes have been reported recently. In the last
fifteen years, an international intensive research in the new
science field of seismo-electromagnetics has been carried out
in many countries such as Japan, Russia, Taiwan, China, Greece,
France, Italy, India, Mexico, and USA even after the termination
of the Japanese Earthquake Frontier Projects on Seismo Electromagnetics
(NASDA’s Earthquake Remote Sensing Frontier Project, and
RIKEN’s International Frontier Research Project on Earthquakes,
IFREQ). Furthermore, in June 2004, France launched a seismo-electromagnetic
(SEM) observation satellite (DEMETER) based on the fact that disturbances
in the electromagnetic environment and ionosphere related with
earthquakes were frequently observed. It is important to make
research for contributing to the resolution of the generation
mechanism of seismo-EM phenomena through a joint analysis of DEMETER
data and ground -based data on geomagnetic, geoelectric and ionospheric
disturbances.
The bilateral project “Ground-based monitoring of seismo-electromagnetic
signals in Indonesia” between Indonesia and Japan started
in 2005. The project aims at establishing a center for integrating
the data from ground-based observation network and growing up
young scientists in Indonesia.
Scope
The
aim of this mini workshop is to have a forum to highlight the
electromagnetic phenomena associated with crustal activity taking
place in the lithosphere, atmosphere and ionosphere/magnetosphere
and their related phenomena. The workshop is planned to evaluate
and discuss the state of the art and the recent progress in Seismo-Electromagnetics
research, particularly in Japan, France, Italy, USA, China and
Taiwan, as well as case studies in Indonesia.

Venue
The
workshop will be held at the Conference Hall of the Indonesian
National Institute of Aeronautics and Space (LAPAN), Jalan Dr.
Djundjunan 133, Bandung 40173, Indonesia. Bandung, the capital
of West Java province, is located about 180 km (112 miles) southeast
of Jakarta. Its elevation is 768 metres (2,520 feet) above sea
level and is surrounded by up to 2,400 m (7,874 ft) high Late
Tertiary and Quarternary volcanic terrain. Due to its elevation,
the climate in Bandung is cooler than most Indonesian cities and
can be classified as humid; the average temperature is 23.6°C
(74.5°F) throughout the year, but it can reach 30°C at
noon. The average annual rainfall ranges from 1,000 millimetres
in the central and southeast regions to 3,500 millimetres in the
north of the city. The wet season conforms with other Indonesian
regions, around November to April.
In 1955, the first Asian-African Conference was held in Bandung,
attended by heads of state representing twenty-nine countries
and colonies from Asia and Africa. The conference venue was the
Gedung Merdeka, the former Concordia Society building. The conference
announced 10 points of declaration on world peace promotion and
oppositions against colonialism, known as the Declaration of Bandung,
which was followed by a wave of nationalism movements around the
globe and remapped the world politics. The conference was also
the first international conference of colored people in the history
of mankind. Bandung is also famous for the Asia-Africa Conference
held in 1969.
There are numerous interesting places to visit within Bandung
and the Province of West Java. To the north of Bandung is the
still active volcanic crater of Mount Tangkuban Perahu, the only
crater in Java accessible all the way by car. A lush and extensive
tea plantation lies at its foothills. Just a few minutes drive
from Tangkuban Perahu is the wonderful Ciater hot spring resorts.
For those who are inclined to see cultural attractions there will
be an opportunity to visit the Mang Udjo Angklung workshop where
traditional art performances, including bamboo musical concerts.
For those who wish to travel further prior to or after the Workshop,
Indonesia also offers many interesting destinations from Bali
to Yogyakarta, the cultural capital of Java. Borobudur, the biggest
Buddhist shrine in the world, is located near Yogyakarta. From
Bandung there are limited flights to several other Indonesian
cities.
