The SE
Asia Research Group carries out field and laboratory based
studies aimed at understanding the tectonic development and geological
history of this exciting, active and beautiful region.
Our research activities range from MSc,
MRes and PhD studies to major
thematic programmes, all of which involve collaborations between UK
and SE Asian universities, government institutions and professional
organisations.
In the last decade our research has included projects investigating
the Sorong Fault Zone in east Indonesia, the Sumatran
Fault, arc development
and tectonic evolution in Java, sediment provenance and isotopic dating
in Borneo, Cenozoic exhumation in West
and East Malaysia and studies
of the Banda Arc collision zone.
The SE Asia Research Group is funded by industrial
companies in three-year consortia. The three year 2011-2013 consortium
is supported by BP, ENI, INPEX, Marathon Oil and
Murphy, Niko Asia, Repsol and Statoil.
