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. Research is currently supported
by ENI, ExxonMobil, INPEX, Marathon
Oil and Murphy.

The Banda arc – a gigantic 1,000km
long, 180-degree curve in eastern Indonesia – has
puzzled geologists for many years. A solution to this
enigma, has finally been found by scientists at Royal
Holloway, University of London and Utrecht University,
and is published in ‘Nature Geoscience’ on
