Geologist Dr Andang Bachtiar ITB and ITS geologist Dr Amien Widodo confirmed the findings of residents and fishermen about the emergence of two new island of Madura which is a new island in Arjasa, Kangean, Sumenep and another in the tens, Bangkalan.
"About a month ago, residents in Sumenep and Bangkalan discover new islands. Scientifically, finding people that really exist, so we plan to investigate," said Amien Widodo told AFP in Surabaya. According to the Chairman of the Center for the Study of Earth LPPM ITS, research is important to ascertain the cause and potential contained in the new island, while the assumptions of the findings related to the new island is still speculative.
Until now, geologists suspect ITB Andang Bachtiar new island was the result of fault / fracture in RMK (Apex, Madura, Kangean), while Amien Widodo own suspect that oil and gas activities are massive. "If it's a lot of oil and gas activity, there will be upward pressure, so it may appear to many new areas, but my friend also exists the possibility of faults that cross Madura, so the area north of Madura and finally fueled up," he explained a new island Sumenep and Bangkalan was not too extensive, but a new study of the two islands is very important for the development of science and the development potential of the region.
"The island can be developed for a new attraction or other potential is determined by the research in detail, because it Kemendikbud support, Kemenristek, and the Ministry of Tourism to the islands is very important," ITS has the tools and qualified human resources to conduct research island new from the air, because the research is largely determined by land weather and waves.
In the opportunity to visit the University Trunojoyo in Bangkalan, Madura at the end of 2012, the Education Minister Mohammad Nuh asked academicians Unijoyo to involve other universities such as the University of Airlangga, ITS, UB, Unej, and so on to "work" a new island.
"I think, among the academicians from various universities can do with corruption in the new island, either for community service and research, so that a new island in the tens and Kangean it can be developed," he said. -Between
