FMIPA UGM received a visit from the Meteorology, Climatology, and Geophysics Agency (BMKG) on Wednesday, Feb 28th, 2024 at Merapi Room, Department of Geophysics, FMIPA UGM. This visit aims to strengthen collaboration to boost the number of human resources in the fields of science and technology through Physics postgraduate programs.

Prof. Dr. Eng. Kuwat Triyana, M.Si., the Dean of FMIPA UGM, welcomed the presence and reinforcement of the collaboration. “The key to the success of an institution lies in the quality of its human resources. Even though the equipment and technology are complete, inadequate human resources can be risky,” said Prof. Kuwat.

In this regard, Dr.rer.nat. Wiwit Suryanto, S.Si., M.Si., a lecturer in Geophysics at FMIPA UGM, presented the types of study programs that BMKG employees can participate in, such as regular and research tracks. Furthermore, an introduction to learning facilities and support programs such as laboratories, field activities, and soft skills training was provided.

“Our graduates will not only be competent technically and scientifically but also in non-technical areas such as communication and work management. We also encourage students to commit to producing publications such as journals,” said Dr. Wiwit.

Nina Amelia Sasmita, M.Si., the Head of the Domestic Education Team at BMKG, expressed the purpose of the visit.

“We have many competent employees who are ready to pursue further education. Therefore, we need a learning program system that can accommodate our employees by dividing their time between studying and working. Additionally, we provide scholarships for our employees to complete their studies,” said Nina.

Promoting Health Awareness, FMIPA UGM Regularly Holds Exercise and Health Check-ups

Februari 28, 2024

Exercise at FMIPA UGM

FMIPA UGM routinely conducts exercise and health services to promote health awareness among employees, lecturers, and students at the FMIPA UGM Building’s courtyard on Friday, Feb 23rd, 2024. The agenda is held every last Friday of each month through Posbindu PTM (Pos Pembinaan Terpadu Penyakit Tidak Menular/Integrated Non-Communicable Disease Counseling Post). The agenda starts with morning exercise followed by health check-ups.

“This activity aims to increase awareness among employees, lecturers, and students at FMIPA UGM. We don’t want them to be healthy when they enter here but become ill when they leave,” said Dr. Chotimah, M.Si., the health officer at FMIPA UGM.

The participants’ enthusiasm is evident from the long queues waiting for their turn in health check-ups. The checks conducted include body mass index, blood pressure, glucose levels, uric acid, and cholesterol. One employee expressed surprise upon learning about the cholesterol levels in their body.

“I was quite surprised to know the cholesterol level in my body. Is it because I’ve recently consumed a lot of seafood?” said Shafa, one of the employees at FMIPA UGM.

Health check-up to determine the ideal body mass index

Exercise and health check-up activities can potentially increase awareness of non-communicable diseases such as high blood pressure and obesity, thus representing a tangible manifestation of SDGs point 3 in the field of Healthy and Prosperous Life. Additionally, these activities contribute to ensuring health services for the campus community to engage in the prevention or early detection of risky diseases. The hope is that this activity will continue to promote health awareness in the FMIPA UGM environment, thereby creating a healthy campus condition.

PESEGI FMIPA UGM Promotes Healthy Lifestyle through Cycling: Cross-Route Edition in Kulon Progo

Februari 28, 2024

Cyclists heading towards YIA airport

The PESEGI (Pesepeda Setu Legi) community of the Faculty of Mathematics and Natural Sciences at Gadjah Mada University continues to advocate for a healthy lifestyle through cycling, this time traversing the Kulon Progo region on Feb 24th, 2024. The cycling route starts from the Faculty of Mathematics and Natural Sciences at UGM and concludes at Yogyakarta International Airport in Wates, Kulon Progo. The event was attended by faculty members and staff from the Faculty of Mathematics and Natural Sciences at UGM, but it was open to the general public.

During the cycling route, there were designated stopping points for rest and breakfast. This cycling activity, besides promoting a healthy lifestyle, aims to accommodate cyclists who want to engage collectively in supporting environmental sustainability.

“This activity is carried out every Sabtu Legi (a day based on the Javanese calendar) as a manifestation of our support for the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs),” said Dr. Winarto Haryadi, M.Si., the Chairman of the PESEGI Community at the Faculty of Mathematics and Natural Sciences at UGM.

Cycling activities have the potential to reduce obesity rates in the community, making it a tangible representation of SDGs Goal 3 in the field of Good Health and Well-being. Furthermore, this cycling culture also contributes to improving the air quality index due to the high usage of oil-fueled vehicles, thus reflecting SDGs point 11, which is Sustainable Cities and Communities. The hope is that more individuals will join in advocating for activities that have a positive impact on health and the environment.

Preparations for departure to the finish line

FMIPA UGM Hosts a Sharing Session on OpendTect Software: A Forum for Discussing the Application of Technology in Science

Februari 22, 2024

The discussion between event participants and the speaker

FMIPA UGM Hosts OpendTect Software Sharing Session on Wednesday, Feb 21st 2024, at Auditorium A1.06 FMIPA UGM. The purpose of this event is to enhance effectiveness in seismic data interpretation development. The event is conducted in a blended format, both offline and online, with David Markus, Head of AI at dGB Earth of Sciences, as the speaker.

The event was opened by Prof. Drs. Roto, M.Eng, Ph.D., Vice Dean for Education, Teaching, and Student Affairs (WDPPK). In this regard, Prof. Roto expressed his hope that this event would be a space for developing IT. “The hope is that we gain knowledge in using technology for science.”

The speaker introduces the advantages of the OpendTect product

The topic discussed is the use of OpendTect Software for comprehensive interpretation and visualization of seismic data, which can be used for free and integrated with several programming languages. According to the official OpendTect account, OpendTect is an open-source and free seismic interpretation system for visualizing, analyzing, and interpreting 2D, 3D, and 4D seismic data. It is also widely used for Geo-Radar interpretation. OpendTect is released under the GNU Public License (GPLv3 or higher).

Participants come from various backgrounds such as students, companies, and researchers from government institutions. During the discussion, one of the participating students triggered a question for the speaker. “Can the software be used in a multi-user environment for a project with the OpendTect free series?” This was then answered that the question is currently under software development, so for now, only the OpendTect Pro series can be used.

The presence of this discussion serves as a learning space for both the speaker to develop their product and participants to apply technology to science. Thus, this sharing session reflects two of the SDGs goals, namely Goal 4: Quality Education with information and communication technology (ICT) skills, and Goal 9: Industry, Innovation, and Infrastructure with the growth of human resources in the field of science and technology in universities.
