The 4th Southeast Asian Conference on Geophysics (SEACG) 2022: Great Challenges and Opportunities of Geophysics Today and Future

Abstract

The Southeast Asian Conference on Geophysics (SEACG) is a biannual event held by the Geophysical Engineering Department, Faculty of Mining and Petroleum Engineering, Institut Teknologi Bandung (ITB), Indonesia. The SEACG has been successfully conducted since 2016, and several selected papers have been published in the IOP Conference Series: Earth and Environmental Science. The first (2016) and second (2018) conferences were held offline in Bali, Indonesia, while the third conference (2020) was held virtually due to the Covid19 pandemic. Along with the end of the Covid19 pandemic, the current event (2022) is being run as a hybrid conference (physical and virtual), live from Bandung, Indonesia.The conference theme of the SEACG 2022 is “Great Challenges and Opportunities of Geophysics Today and Future.” The program lasts two days, from August 9, 2022, to August 10, 2022, and is sponsored by the Institute of Research and Community Services, ITB. There are 11 invited international speakers (30-minute duration) and 88 contributed speakers (20 min duration) who presented their ideas. With five panel rooms, 35 contributed speakers delivered offline presentations and 53 virtually via Zoom. The speakers, both invited and contributed, presented and introduced new geophysical insights and techniques.The panel discussion featured intriguing topics and invited speakers from various institutions, such as Institut Teknologi Bandung – Indonesia (Dr.rer.nat. R. Mohammad Rachmat Sule, Dr. Tedi Yudistira, Prof. Sri Widiyantoro, Prof. Wahyu Srigutomo, and Prof. Wawan Gunawan Abdul Kadir), CSIRO – Australia (Dr. Erdinc Saygin), Australian National University – Australia (Prof. Phil Cummins), University of Tokyo – Japan (Prof. Takeshi Tsuji), JGI, Inc. – Japan (Moeto Fujisawa, M.Sc.), Ocean University of China – China (Dr. Zhijun Du), and Institut de Physique du Globe de Paris – France (Dr. Jean-Philippe Metaxian). The event was opened by Dr. Fatkhan (the Head of the Geophysical Engineering Master and Doctorate Degree Program, ITB) and closed by Dr. Warsa (the Head of the Geophysical Engineering Bachelor Degree Program, ITB).The SEACG 2022 provided a platform for academics, professionals, and students to discuss and promote scientific results related to recent advancements in geophysical methods and related sciences. The conference covered various session topics, such as Fault and Deformation Study, Passive Seismic, Environmental Geophysics, Geophysical Approaches in Hydrocarbon, Geophysical Approaches in Geothermal, Advance Geophysics, Vulcanology, Tomography, Seismic Hazards, Geomagnetic, and Seismology.We would thank the organization’s team members, the reviewers, and the faculty staff. They have worked very hard to make this event possible. We wish all attendees of SEACG 2022 have an exciting experience and enjoy the moment in this scientific forum.List of Organizing Committee, Documentation are available in this pdf.
