  • Welcome to the Southeast Asia Research Group

    The Southeast Asia Research Group carries out field and laboratory based studies aimed at understanding the tectonic development and geological history of this exciting, active, and beautiful region.

    Our research activities range from MSc, MRes, and PhD studies to major thematic programmes, all of which involve collaborations between UK and SE Asian universities, government institutions, and professional organisations.

    Our current research projects include using legacy data to refine tectonic reconstructions and build new palaeogeographic reconstructions, understand source to sink sediment routing throughout the region, provide insights into energy futures including CCS, natural hydrogen, and hydroelectric systems.

    If you are interested in joining the Southeast Asia Research Group Joint Industry Project 2026 – 2029 contact Amy Gough: A.Gough@hw.ac.uk
