 Indonesia : A Geological Beauty and Complexity

• van Bemmelen (1949) : “The East Indian Archipelago is the most

intricate part of the earth’s surface…The East Indies are an important
touchstone for conceptions on the fundamental problems of
geological evolution of our planet…”
• Hamilton (1979) : “Indonesia represents an ideal level of complexity
for analysis within the framework of available concepts of plate
tectonics.”
• Hutchison (1989) : “a complex and fascinating region”
• Hall and Blundell (1996) : “SE Asia is probably the finest natural
geological laboratory in the world...”
• Sukamto (2000) : “…Indonesian Region…has proved to be very
attractive to the earth scientists…Many earth scientists have
attempted to explain the various unique geological phenomena by
theories, hypotheses and models.”
