Initiatives

Inventory of Geoscience Organisations
Led by the Geological Society of Malaysia, geoscience organisations that are suitable partners for GEOSEA have been identified in Southeast Asia. In Southeast Asia, only seven countries have geoscience or geoscience related societies (Indonesia, Malaysia, Myanmar, The Philippines, Singapore, Thailand and Vietnam). The remaining four countries appear to have only geoscience government departments (Brunei, Cambodia, Laos and Timor Leste). The inventory is being updated periodically.

Best Practices in the Geosciences
Proposed by the Geological Society of Thailand, this initiative aspires to promote greater cooperation and sharing of knowledge between geological societies in the region particularly in the area of geological and natural hazards. Documented practices will uploaded onto the websites of the respective Societies on a voluntary basis. These will be cross-linked whenever they become available to provide the widest accessibility possible.
