PRAKATA Sejak ditubuhkan pada tahun 1967, Persatuan Geologi Malaysia merupakan penyumbang utama dalam meningkatkan ilmu dalam bidang geosains pada tahap kebangsaan dan serantau. Persatuan telah menganjurkan pelbagai seminar dan persidangan dan menyalurkan kertas kerja yang dibentang semasa perjumpaan tersebut untuk diterbitkan dalam siri Buletin Persatuan Geologi Malaysia. Buletin 53 ini mengandungi 19 kertas kerja yang diperolehi daripada penyelidikan asas dan gunaan serta kajian dasar dalam bidang geosains. Lima kertas kerja telah dibentangkan semasa Persidangan Geosains Kebangsaan 2006 yang dianjurkan pada 12-13 Jun di Petaling Jaya, Selangor. Empat belas kertas kerja adalah daripada pembentangan semasa Persidangan Geosains Kebangsaan 2007, yang dianjurkan pada 8-9 Jun 2007 di Universiti Malaysia Sabah. Persatuan mengucapkan ribuan terima kasih kepada penulis yang menyumbang kertas kerja, pengulas yang sudi meluangan masa untuk memperbaiki sumbangan tersebut dan jawatankuasa penganjur yang telah menyelaraskan penerbitan kertas kerja dalam siri Buletin ini. PREFACE Since its establishment in 1967, the Geological Society of Malaysia has been a major contributor to the advancement of knowledge in the geosciences at the national and regional levels. The Society has organised numerous seminars and conferences and channeled papers from these meetings to its series on Bulletin of the Geological Society of Malaysia. Bulletin 53 is a collection of 19 papers based on basic, applied and policy research on geoscience. Five papers were presented at the National Geoscience Conference 2006, held on 12-13 June in Petaling Jaya, Selangor. Fourteen are from National Geoscience Conference 2007, held at Universiti Malaysia Sabah on 8-9 June 2007. The Society gratefully acknowledges all the authors for their contributions, the reviewers for making time to improve the contributions and the organising committee of the two conferences for facilitating publication of the papers.
