ABSTRACT
Gedongsongo surfbce manifestations of the Ungarangeothermal prospect in Central Java, Indonesia, have
f,igtr tempeiaturi properties, 72 - 870C,2 - 6 pH and770 ppm of chloride. The stable isotopic ratios of6180 and 6D of t'wo adjacent manifestations show a
slightly different enrichment. The westem partreveals a rnore magmatic water influence than those
o[ the eastem one. This is supported by the presence
of relic manifestations as most occurs in the easternpart; whereas active fumaroles and steaming groundexist at westem part.
INTRODUCTION
Ungaran Volcano is located at northern part of the
Java volcanic arc (Figure l). Java itself is developed
by the north-south modem subduction system of the
Indian oceanic plate and Eurasian continental plate
(Hamilton,1979). Ungaran lies within 4
stratovolcanos range, i.e. Merapi, Merbabu,
Telomoyo and Ungaran (from south - north; Figure
1). Bemmelen (1949) describes the Ungaran volcano
as composed of augite-olivine basalt-andesite (Lower
Pleistocene), augite-olivine basalts (upper
Pleistocene), augite-hornblende(biotite) andesite
(upper Pleistocene and Holocene) and hornblende
andesite (Holocene). These three distinct
compositions are recognized as the products three ofmajor volcanic eruptions which were separated by
two collapses stnrctures (Bemmelen, 1949). This
stmctlre type rnight control surface manifestations at
Ungaran.
Some geothermal manifestations appear to surroundUngaran volcano, i.e. Kali Ulo, Diwak, Banaran and
Gedongsongo. In this paper, the author focuses onmajor manifestations that occur at Gedongsongowhich is situated at the southern flank of Ungaransummit. An update of manifestatior.r descriptions and
fluid origins are described.

TTIERMAL MANIFES ATIONS
Thermal manifestations of Gedongsongo are in the
form of fumaroles, hot springs and steaming ground.The active thermal manifestations mostly occur in the
western part of a slnall creek on the southenr f'lank ofUngaran summit (Figure 2). Measured temperaturesmade using a thermistor at the verlt of fumaroles (size
0.75 x 0.50 m) reaches 850C (measured in November2008) with significant mass flow rate (Nukman, irrprep.) The fumarole discharges fiom steep ctiff;whereas steaming ground (45 x 30 m) rvith sirnilartemperatures coexists in higher topography. Thissuggests that flimaroles were fomted due to heatedground water which in bisected topography (Figurer
3). The temperature of hot spring (eastern part) andsieaming ground (southem part) ieaches about 400C
and 50uC, consecutively.
In the eastern part of the creek exist relicmanifestations (Figures 2 & 3). There are many dead
trees covered by sulphur and mud. The su\thur odorcan be recognized at very close distance, and thereare tiny fracfures over the ground also covered bysulphuric mud interpreted as relic 'rvarm or hot springchannel mouth.

The West Ung-01 is more sulphate rich water with a
significant amount of chloride as illustrated in Figure
4. This composition $uggests a mixing process has
been occurring in region.

Figure 4: Gedongsongo water type based on SOa-
C|-HCO3 ternary diagram of Giggenbach199t.
The isotope data (Figure 5) is parallel with this
interpretation as the West Ung-01 shows enrichment
of 6180 relative to Craig meteoric water line, but does
not reaches the magmatic box area where 6180 is
higher (enrichment in l8O content than those 160 as
commonly ocour at igneous rock and in water
reaction contact with magma; Ellis & Mahon, 1977).
Although East Ung-02 is classified as matue water
type but has depleted 6180 and lies on the global
meteoric water line of Craig (1961).
Figure 2: Oxygen isotope positive shift of West Ung-0I relative to meteolic water. The
meteoric waterline is constructed basedon the global meteoric line of Craig(1 e6 t).
DISCUSSION
Gedongsono fluid type is classified as acid sulfate-chloride water which consistent with collapsedstructure processes. A slight magmatic fluid influenceis recognized in the western part of Gedongsongo,where the active manifesatotions exist; this suggest
that a mixing process is occurring in this region. Totest this interpretation, we plan additional samples
will be collected and analyzed (in particular forisotope) in the near future..
