This annual event is the landmark geoscience event in Malaysia, and this year we are delighted to invite our overseas counterparts. This event also coincides with the 50th anniversary of the Geological Society of Malaysia (GSM). Renowned experts from Malaysia and other countries have been invited to share their knowledge and instil intellectual exchange to further enhance the geoscientific community. Forums, plenary and session keynotes, special lectures, oral presentation and posters from numerous researchers are presented in this event. It has been a great honour for the committee to host the conference and fellow geoscientists and engineers from all over the world in Kuala Lumpur. We hope the geoscience community will greatly benefit from this event and forge unforgettable memories for the participants.
