Climate literacy is the ability to make responsible decisions and present solutions to climate change problems based on a scientific understanding of the climate system and climate change. Climate literacy skills can indicate support for climate action, which is Goal 13 of the SDGs. Climate Literacy is also essential for realising climate change education (CCE). Not only playing a role in education, but climate literacy can also improve people's mitigation and adaptation abilities to climate change. This fact was obtained based on the results of a literature review published in the Scopus database for 2015 to 2022. Data were analysed using bibliometrics with the aim of identifying trends in scientific publications of climate literacy, Identifying the network connection between authors, institutions, and countries in related publications of climate literacy, and understanding the structure and thematic focus of climate literacy. Based on data analysis related to the keyword climate literacy, it is hoped that it can provide information about the needs of climate change research, especially its role in education, disaster risk reduction/mitigation, and adaptation measures to climate change conditions.

Earthquake natural disasters that occur due to the meeting between plates can happen in an area unavoidably. The location of Indonesia, which is located between three confluence of the world's tectonic plates, causes earthquakes to become one of the natural disasters that often occur, especially where the plates meet each other. This study examines the development of scientific publications related to earthquakes in Indonesia during 2018-2020 based on Google Scholar data. The method used in this study is a bibliometric analysis method based on keyword clusters. The data used in this study was taken by Publish or Perish from scientific publication data during 2018-2020, which Google Scholar indexed with the keyword earthquake with the travel time inversion method, the inverse waveform method, and the forward travel time method and data is mapped bibliometrically using VOSviewer software. The study results show that during the period 2018-2020, the keyword trends related to earthquake research in Indonesia are earthquakes, tsunamis, and Indonesia. The number of the cluster for the travel time inversion method are six clusters, for the waveform inversion method are five clusters, and for the travel time forward method are five clusters. Also, one of top five article for travel time inversion method is Gian Ricardo et al from Indonesia for waveform inversion method is Ratna Hidayanti et al from Indonesia, and for travel time forward method is Srigutomo W et al from Indonesia. Futhermore, research trends regarding scientific publications on earthquakes during 2018-2020 show that the most frequently used method is the travel time inversion method because this method is the fastest method for estimating earthquake's parameter.

Indonesia is a country, which is prone to geological and hydrometeorological hazards, including volcanic eruptions, earthquakes, tsunamis, floods, and droughts. Systematic initial responses based on efforts for pre-disaster prevention and its corresponding countermeasures need to be prepared for the improvement of the capacity of local communities in managing disaster risks and associated recoveries. Education is, then, considered a way of improving basic knowledge necessary for disaster preparedness and promoting a recovery strategy. Learning about earth-related Disaster Risks Reduction (DRR) fits with Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics (STEM) education since a disaster could be best examined across multi-disciplines. While the implementation of a STEM-DRR approach in a classroom setting remains challenging, the current study examined a pattern to follow in STEM-DRR as a potential strategy for increasing awareness of disaster risks at schools. The method used in this study is an exploration with a semi-systematic literature review to reduce a possible bias when facing various terms and procedures in the early development of this approach. The results imply a better look for a future direction of integrated research combining disaster education and STEM. This study could lead to an effective strategy for DRR in school environments with two critical aspects as follows: (1) Strategy for STEM-DRR education depends on both the type and location of a disaster, and (2) A follow-up study to handle the shortcomings found from this study needs to be performed with a broader range of research area coverages, including multidisciplinary approaches.

The study aims was to describe of the profile of geoscience education conducted at the institution of teacher education for answer challenges of volcanic eruption crisis in Indonesia. The method used is descriptive analysis based on result of test and interview to 31 students of physics pre-service teachers about volcanoes through field study. The results showed that the students have a low understanding of volcanic material and there are several problems associated with the volcanoes concept. Other facts are geoscience learning does not support to the formation of geoscience knowledge and skills, dominated by theoretical studies and less focused on effort to preparing students towards disasters particularly to the volcanic eruption. As a recommendation, this require to restructuring geoscience education so as relevant with the social needs. Through courses accordingly, we can greatly help student's physics prospective teacher to improve their participations to solve problems of volcanic eruption crisis in the society.

Indonesia has Indonesian Tsunami Early Warning System (Ina-TEWS) since 2008. The Ina-TEWS has used automatic processing on hypocenter; Mwp, Mw (mB) and Mj. If earthquake occurred in Ocean, depth < 70 km and magnitude > 7, then Ina-TEWS announce early warning that the earthquake can generate tsunami. However, the announcement of the Ina-TEWS is still not accuracy. Purposes of this research are to estimate earthquake rupture duration of large Indonesia earthquakes that occurred in Indian Ocean, Java, Timor sea, Banda sea, Arafura sea and Pasific ocean. We analyzed at least 330 vertical seismogram recorded by IRIS-DMC network using a direct procedure for rapid assessment of earthquake tsunami potential using simple measures on P-wave vertical seismograms on the velocity records, and the likelihood that the high-frequency, apparent rupture duration, Tdur. Tdur can be related to the critical parameters rupture length (L), depth (z), and shear modulus (μ) while Tdur may be related to wide (W), slip (D), z or μ. Our analysis shows that the rupture duration has a stronger influence to generate tsunami than Mw and depth. The rupture duration gives more information on tsunami impact, Mo/μ, depth and size than Mw and other currently used discriminants. We show more information which known from the rupture durations. The longer rupture duration, the shallower source of the earthquake. For rupture duration greater than 50 s, the depth less than 50 km, Mw greater than 7, the longer rupture length, because Tdur is proportional L and greater Mo/μ. Because Mo/μ is proportional L. So, with rupture duration information can be known information of the four parameters. We also suggest that tsunami potential is not directly related to the faulting type of source and for events that have rupture duration greater than 50 s, the earthquakes generated tsunami. With available real-time seismogram data, rapid calculation, rupture duration discriminant can be completed within 4-5 min after an earthquake occurs and thus can aid in effective, accuracy and reliable tsunami early warning for Indonesia region.

The purpose of the study was to estimate P-wave rupture durations (Tdur), dominant periods (Td) and exceeds duration (T50Ex) simultaneously for local events, shallow earthquakes which occurred off the coast of Indonesia. Although the all earthquakes had parameters of magnitude more than 6,3 and depth less than 70 km, part of the earthquakes generated a tsunami while the other events (Mw=7.8) did not. Analysis using Joko Tingkir of the above stated parameters helped understand the tsunami generation of these earthquakes. Measurements from vertical component broadband P-wave quake velocity records and determination of the above stated parameters can provide a direct procedure for assessing rapidly the potential for tsunami generation. The results of the present study and the analysis of the seismic parameters helped explain why the events generated a tsunami, while the others did not. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
