This study analyzes the characteristics of the surface alteration zones in the Wayang Windu geothermal field (WWGF). It employs a remote sensing method using multispectral Landsat 8 imagery and is validated by ground truth data from field surveys. The WWGF is located in Pangalengan, West Java with an elevation of 1500-2600 m.a.s.l., and lies in a quaternary volcanic arc. The rock types in Wayang Windu consist of andesite, basalt, tuff, breccia, and pumice. Fractures and faults are identified as lineaments in this area and based on their structures, were directed to be oriented northwest-southeast and northeast-southwest. This research combined a field survey and remote sensing methods to enhance the spatial data. Field surveys yield 18 spots for obtaining soil samples and laboratory analyses were performed. Spectral reflectance analysis was performed to determine the reflectance and mineral composition of the samples, X-ray diffraction was performed to determine the mineral composition, and X-ray fluorescence was performed to determine the abundance of elements. A scene from Landsat 8 image acquired on September 10, 2013 was evaluated using a principal component analysis-based method. The surface alteration zones in the WWGF correlated with joints and faults. Based on the mineral composition, the surface alteration zones in WWGF were identified as advanced argillic zone with the occurrence of secondary minerals such as cristobalite and halloysite, and a propylitic zone with the occurrence of secondary minerals such as epidote and chlorite.[/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space][vc_separator css=”.vc_custom_1624528584150{padding-top: 25px !important;padding-bottom: 25px !important;}”][vc_empty_space][megatron_heading title=”Author keywords” size=”size-sm” text_align=”text-left”][vc_column_text]Fractures and faults,Ground truth data,Laboratory analysis,Mineral composition,Reconnaissance surveys,Spectral reflectances,Surface alteration,X ray fluorescence[/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space][vc_separator css=”.vc_custom_1624528584150{padding-top: 25px !important;padding-bottom: 25px !important;}”][vc_empty_space][megatron_heading title=”Indexed keywords” size=”size-sm” text_align=”text-left”][vc_column_text][/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space][vc_separator css=”.vc_custom_1624528584150{padding-top: 25px !important;padding-bottom: 25px !important;}”][vc_empty_space][megatron_heading title=”Funding details” size=”size-sm” text_align=”text-left”][vc_column_text]The authors wish to sincerely thank the The SATREPS (Science and Technology Research Partnership for Sustainable Development) program through Beneficial and Advanced Geothermal Use System (BAGUS) project for providing field equipment, and survey accommodation support.
