Adventures in Paradise
AAPG Student Chapters in Indonesia
By Chuck Caughey
AAPG Service Team Leader for Indonesia
AAPG Student Chapters in Indonesia put adventure into their quest for knowledge and professionalism. Exploring for 9th century Hindu relics near ancient temples in the rain forest of South Sumatra (fig. 1) and examining carbonate environments of the beautiful "Thousand Islands" offshore from West Java are among the many activities organized by the Student Chapters to explore the diverse resources and exotic landscape of Indonesia. With more than 350 members on 11 campuses spread across the islands of Sumatra, Java, and Sulawesi (fig. 2, Table 1), the AAPG Student Chapters host geoscience activities and provide a forum for students to explore careers and learn to be professionals.
