First FOSI regional seminar to commemorate
50th anniversary of the GEOLOGY OF INDONESIA

| 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.
