About

Wahyu Srigutomo is a leading Indonesian geophysicist whose research focuses on volcano early warning systems and advanced geospatial mapping technologies. His most impactful work includes the development of a comprehensive early warning system for Kelud Volcano, one of Indonesia’s most dangerous volcanoes, which has a history of devastating eruptions—including the 2014 event that threatened over 200,000 lives. This system, detailed in his most-cited paper (2021, 8 citations), integrates geophysical monitoring to detect precursory signals and provide timely alerts, representing a critical contribution to volcanic hazard mitigation in the region. Srigutomo has also advanced the application of drone technology in geospatial surveys, as shown in his work (2021, 5 citations) on using DJI drones and intelligent flight batteries for 3D field and building mapping. This research demonstrates how modern unmanned aerial systems can replace traditional methods like total stations and GPS, offering faster data collection and improved accuracy while ensuring operator safety. Through these contributions, Srigutomo bridges fundamental geophysical research with practical, life-saving applications, making him a key figure in Indonesian disaster risk reduction and geospatial innovation.
