Most alluvium with valued heavy minerals originated from regions of continental shelf, from which recycle process for stable minerals play an important role in transportation and final concentration formation of the minerals. Kalimantan Island as part of continental shelf has a great opportunity to provide condition or environment for placer deposition with zircon content due to: comprising particularly basement rock of calc-alkali to alkali series (granite, granodiorite, tonalite and monzonite) which were suggested as the main supplier sources of zircon; having a long period of regional stability as main contribution in continuation processes of weathering, transportation and forming deposition environment of alluvium and located within a tropical climate with high humidity from which mechanical and chemical weathering processes play an important role in releasing zircon from its source rocks. Continental placer deposit of fluvial sub-environment category is suggested to have possibility to form deposition zone lying between the mountains and the seas, reaching over wide areas and forming huge volume reservoirs with content of zircon. Based on zircon identification (associated with gold or diamond) of placer pan concentrates at some areas of West Kalimantan and Central Kalimantan, these have proved how widespread of zircon deposition within fluvial sub-environments in both regions. This important information inspires an opportunity to do exploration of placer zircon deposits within fluvial sub-environments in entirely Kalimantan Island, without neglecting to the transition placer of strandline sub-environment category and marine environment which enable to have an economic deposit of zircon. Keywords: zircon, placer, continental, transition and marine environment

Papandayan volcano is located in the southern part of Garut regency, about 70 km southeast of Bandung, West Java. Monitoring the activities of Papandayan volcano has been done using various methods both continously and periodically, one of them is deformation method using repeated GPS (Global Positioning System) survey. GPS survey method is basically used to obtain the pattern and speed of the deformation body of the volcano, both in horizontal and vertical directions and also could be used to determined the location and size of the strain source of deformation based on Mogi model. By describing the shallow seismic activities before and after the eruption, this could show us the correlation of deformation characteristic and its seismic activities. By the result of eight GPS campaigns show that the deformation acceleration is running rapidly, where the fluctuation of shallow seismic activities are directly followed by inflation and deflation of volcano body. Pressure source movement running up and down to southwest-northeast direction. This correlation will lead us to the more comprehensive phenomena of a volcanic eruption, especially in Papandayan volcano. Keywords: GPS survey, strain, correlation, deformation, seismicity
