Geology of The Sulawesi Region : Volume 1

This book offers a detailed yet accessible look into the geological complexity of Sulawesi, an island shaped by the dramatic collision of the Asian and Australian tectonic plates. Known for
its unique form and rich biodiversity, Sulawesi sits at the heart of a dynamic geotectonic boundary, earning its reputation as “where two worlds collided.”

Focusing on both onshore and offshore data, particularly from Western Sulawesi, the book traces the island’s formation from ancient crustal fragments to active subduction zones. Designed as a reference work, it allows readers to explore specific topics of interest through clearly organized, often cross-referenced sections.

More than just a technical resource, Geology of the Sulawesi Region reveals the powerful natural forces that have shaped one of Indonesia’s most fascinating islands, making it essential reading for geologists, researchers, and anyone intrigued by Earth’s evolving landscapes.
