Abstract

The island of Sumatra has high geothermal potential as a result of tectonic activity from the Great Sumatran Fault running along the island. This tectonic activity has formed volcanoes and surface thermal activity in various regions, including Kepahiang. This study aims to analyze the geological conditions, geomorphology, and volcanic products in the area, and then classify them according to the Indonesian Stratigraphy Code (1996). The analysis focuses on volcano stratigraphy using satellite imagery, topographic maps, and ridge delineation from Digital Elevation Model (DEM) data. The study will be presented as volcano stratigraphy maps at scales of 1:50,000 and 1:100,000, which can serve as a guide for geothermal resource exploration and utilization in Kepahiang.
