GEOLOGY OF INDONESIA book authored by R. W. van

IN MEMORIAM Bandung, 15-17 March 1999
R.W. van Bemmelen Institute of Technology, Bandung
Organized by FOSI - IAGI -ITB
Proceedings editor : Herman Darman (Shell) and F. H. Sidi (VICO)
This proceeding contains 32 abstracts and extended abstracts, which will be presented in the regional
seminar of the Tectonics and Sedimentation of Indonesia. The well-balanced content of the book should
prove particularly attractive to those who seek a detailed state-of-the-science overview of this large and
ever-expanding subject area. The seminar is organized by the Indonesian Sedimentologists Forum (FOSI),
the Indonesian Association of Geologists (IAGI) and the host, the Geological Department of the Institute
of Technology, Bandung (ITB). The regional seminar from which this volume resulted was convened at the
Sasana Budaya Ganesha, Institute of Technology, Bandung (ITB), from 15-20 March 1999, as a memorial
meeting of the 50th anniversary of The Geology of Indonesia publication, authored by Prof. R. W. van
Bemmelen in 1949. We felt that significant advances have been made in our understanding on the regional
geology of Indonesia and yet not collated into a useful reference source such as The Geology of
Indonesia and timely forum was long overdue to enable workers to disseminate this knowledge. The three
days seminar included 32 papers and 5 posters covering regional geology of Indonesian basins, their
tectonism processes which responsible for basin configuration and the sedimentary processes, which fill
the basin afterwards. The seminar was opened by Dr. Yahdi Zaim as the department head of the Geology
Department of ITB and Yanto R. Sumantri as the president of IAGI. Following the three days seminar
there was a course on the Sequence Stratigraphy by Dr. Henry Posamentier (ARCO) and a field trip to
Cinambo Area led by Dr. Kustomo Hasan (GRDC/PPPG). We would like to thank SEPM and IAS for their
generous sponsorship of the meeting and this publication. We also wish to thank the Royal Geological and
Mining Society of the Netherlands (KNGMG) for their permission for re-publishing their related articles
and their assistance in gathering information on Prof. R. W. van Bemmelen.
