GEMPA BUMI TOHOKU, JEPUN

Gempa bumi bermagnitud 9.0 pada kedalaman 24.4km telah melanda kepulauan Jepun pada 11 Mac 2011 di mana kedudukan 'Epicenter' adalah 130km daripada Sendai, Honshu Jepun.

Gempa bumi ini adalah rekod yang tertinggi yang tecatat dalam sejarah gempa bumi di Jepun dan kelima bermagnitud tertinggi di dunia sejak direkodkan pada tahun 1900.

Bencana ini juga telah mengakibatkan berlakunya Tsunami yang menghentam kepulauan Jepun terutamanya, daerah Sendai, Fukushima dan Yamagata. Ketinggian ombak adalah pelbagai dan dianggarkan berjulat 0.5m hingga 10m. Ombak tinggi juga dikenalpasti bergerak dan sampai ke persisiran California pada ketinggian kira-kira 2 meter.

Kesan daripada bencana ini telah menyebabkan pelbagai kemusnahan antaranya, banjir, tanah runtuh, kerosakkan bangunan dan kerosakkan pada reaktor nuklear. Kegagalan sistem penyejukkan reaktor nuklear telah menyebabkan kerosakan dan kebocoran radioaktif. Insiden ini ditafsirkan insinden nuklear yang kedua bencana selepas peristiwa di Chernobyl

Bencana ini rata-rata telah mengakibatkan banyak kemusnahan dan meragut lebih kurang 15 000 orang nyawa dan lebih 6000 orang tercedera.

ADVANTAGES

·        You guys get to learn !

There is no better way to grow your career than through engaging with others in your profession. Learning experiences not only enhance your skills but also foster new relationships with your colleagues and peers. What better experience is there than a shared one?

·        Broaden your knowledge

Whats other fun way to expand the knowledge you had about oil and gas if not listening about it from people who have more experiences about working offshore and in exploration?

·        Making friends !

And its not just ordinary friends. Corporate friends who worked in corporate world which will give you advantage to engange with the industry. These people will encourage you to polish your eloquance skills and be confident to speak to other people in higher level.

GEOSKILLS 101: ENGINEERING GEOLOGY : DAM PROJECT

As an engineering geologist, what are the pertinent issues or questions that you have to answer in the site investigation phase for a dam project.

The engineering geologist must be able to answer the following questions :

1)      what is the depth of overburden that must be removed to reach an acceptable foundation for the dam wall

2)      what are the rock types which make up the foundation and to what extent are they affected by surface weathering

3)      what are the engineering properties of the foundation rock types (important properties are strength, deformability and durability)

4)      what is the geological structure of the foundation (ie jointing, faulting and folding of the rock strata). A full description of the defect pattern in the rock mass should include orientation, spacing, extent or persistence and aperture or openess

5)      how permeable is the rock foundation (ie to what extent are the rock defects such as joints, faults and bedding open)

6)      where can adequate supplies of construction materials such as clay, sand, gravel and rock fill be obtained, preferably as close as possible to the dam site

7)      will the rock that must be excavated to provide a spillway for the dam be acceptable for use as rock fill in the construction of the dam embankment

8)      will the spillway require concrete lining and an energy dissipation structure at its downstream end or is the spillway rock sufficiently erosion resistant that these can be omitted.

Methods commonly used to explore sites (geological investigation) for dam construction projects

The primary purpose of geological/site investigations for a dam project is provide the information that dam designers require in order to design a safe dam structure and to be able to estimate with reasonable accuracy how much the dam is going to cost. The dam site must be explored by an experienced engineering geologist. Methods commonly used to explore sites for construction projects are:

·         Geological mapping of surface rock outcrops.

·         Geophysical surveys. Seismic refraction is often used to determine depth of overburden.

·         Excavation of trenches and pits using bulldozers, backhoes etc.

·         Diamond core drilling. As usually carried out this method recovers an undisturbed, cylindrical sample (a core sample) about 50 mm in diameter from depths of a few metres to hundreds of metres, if necessary. Other types of drilling which recover disturbed samples may also be used in some circumstances.

·         concrete dam and fill (embankment) dam

Dams can be grouped according to the type of material of which they are constructed as follows; concrete dams are further grouped according to how they achieve their strength and stability. The difference between concrete dam and fill (embankment) dam.

Concrete dam	Fill (embankment) dam
Made up of solid concrete	Made up of soil and gravel
Can be constructed to any height	Can be constructed with moderate height
Less maintenance – low cost to operate	Cheaper to build
Example: Warrangamba Dam in Australia, is a type of concrete gravity dam	Example: Bakun Dam in Malaysia, is a type of concrete faced rock fill dam

TRUST ME, I’M A GEOLOGIST & THIS IS MY STORY

Bismillahirahmanirahhim..

Dua tahun sejak September 2012, saya menjejakkan kaki di Universiti Kebangsaan Malaysia (UKM). Perasaan pertama kali melangkah ke UKM saya sangat besyukur dan berbangga dapat menjadi salah seorang Mahasiswa Geologi di universiti ini. ‘Mahasiswa’ satu nama yang sememangnya mempunyai taraf yang tersendiri namun, mempunyai matlamat & tanggungjawab yang berat sebenarnya. Sejak masuk Universiti ini, saya telah menetapkan matlamat untuk terus meneroka dengan lebih lagi, belajar pada kedudukan yang tinggi ini yang dipanggil sebagai Menara Gading. Bagi saya Universiti adalah satu pentas untuk mengembangkan potensi dan permulaan kepada kejayaan. Saya bukan hanya datang ke sini untuk belajar tetapi untuk mencari yang lebih lagi iaitu ‘Peluang & Pengalaman’. Di UKM kita bukan sahaja berpeluang malah boleh mencipta peluang. Bagi saya tiada gunanya hanya belajar dan mendapat gred yang cemerlang di akhir keputusan, tetapi apa yang penting adalah Belajar kerana kita ‘mahu’ dan bukan kerana kita perlu/terpaksa (bukan kerana pointer). Belajar untuk “faham, amalkan dan memberi manfaat”. 

Sememangnya pengalaman bersama Program Geologi amatlah berharga malah tidak ternilai bagi saya. Sepanjang kami menghadiri kuliah, amali, kerjalapangan dan beraktiviti saya berasa sangat gembira dan menikmati setiap saat bersama para pensyarah, warga geologi dan rakan-rakan. Saya teruja dapat mempelajari suatu bidang ilmu yang sangat menakjubkan ini, iaitu Geologi. Banyak perkara dalam geologi yang bukan mudah untuk dipercayai, namun dengan geologi dapat difahami dan dibuktikannya. Ilmu tentang bumi, menyebabkan kami mampu berfikir lebih daripada imaginasi, mula mempersoalkan kejadian-kejadian yang berlaku, meningkatkan semangat ingin tahu dan yang paling ‘best’ adalah dapat ‘appreciate’ alam ini. Hanya geologist sahaja yang mampu berkata, cantiknya batu tu... XD

"Mengilhamkan Harapan, Mencipta Masa Depan"

Banyak pengalaman-pengalaman baru yang kami peroleh, dan Insha Allah semuanya bermanfaat. Jika sebelum ini tidak pernah mendaki gunung, naik turun bukit, cerun curam, meredah dan meranduk sungai, naik ke permatang turun ke lembah, masuk hutan hingga ke padang jarak, bekerja di lapangan yang kadang-kala ekstrem dengan panas terik dan hujan lebat, berkhemah, beriadah dan yang paling osem sekali adalah dapat menikmati keindahan alam sepanjang bekerjalapangan terutamanya dapat melihat dan memahami geologi persekitaran. SubhanAllah.

Saya berharap saya akan dapat terus berkembang dalam bidang ini, terus menerus membawa bidang ini kehadapan, mewarisi ilmu dan kepakaran dan dapat mencapai segala cita-cita dan impian saya selama ini. Saya tidak akan berhenti di sini saja, banyak lagi yang perlu saya pelajari dan terokai, bumi ini luas, diharap saya dapat berpeluang menjelajah setiap satu daripadanya dan membawa cerita yang lebih menarik kepada kalian semua. Wa’allahualam.

Kawan..

Jangan berjalan di belakangku, kerana aku tidak minat memimpin..

Jangan juga berjalan di depanku, kerana aku tidak selalu mengikuti..

Tapi berjalanlah di sisiku agar dapat kita bersama-sama mengapai kejayaan!
