Studi rekaman seismik multi-kanal dari Cekungan Aru, Papua Barat yang diperoleh dengan menggunakan KR Geomarin III pada tahun 2016, bertujuan untuk menginventarisir dan memetakan aspek-aspek geologi serta untuk studi geo-tektonik dan sejarah geologi. Data seismik menunjukan bahwa urutan sedimen di Cekungan Aru ditandai oleh sedimen pra-ekstensi, sedimen sin-ekstensi, sedimen pos-ekstensi dan sedimen sin-inversi. Pengamatan mikroskopis inti sedimen permukaan dasar laut umumnya menunjukkan adanya fragmen cangkang kerang dan foraminifera, mineral mafik dan residu organik dari lignit berwarna coklat kehitaman. Kata kunci: Cekungan Aru, stratigrafi seismik, sedimen.Study on multi-channel seismic records from the Aru Basin, West Papua obtained using RV Geomarin III in 2016 were aimed to invent and map geological aspects and for geo-tectonic and geological history studies. Seismic data confirmed that sediment sequence in Aru Basin is characterized by pre-extension sediments, syn-extension sediments, syn-extension sediments and syn-inversion sediments. Microscopic observations of the core of surficial sediments generally show the presence of shell fragments and foraminiferas, mafic minerals and organic residuals of blackish-brownish lignite. Key words: Aru Basin, seismic stratigraphy, sediments.
