Location of major field activities

​​

After a one-day meeting, a fieldtrip has been planned along the Phetchabun fold belt in Central Thailand from Phetchabun in the north to Lopburi, Saraburi and nearby areas in the south visiting the late Palaeozoic carbonate sequences and build-ups. This trip includes a field carbonate training/workshop led by prominent carbonate workers from the developed world (both in-person and online). The course includes basic concept and application for both academic knowledge and economic benefit for students/academics and geoscientists on

​

1. Carbonate sedimentology

2. Carbonate depositional environments

3. Palaeontology and biostratigraphy

4. Regional stratigraphic correlation and mapping of the carbonate sequences in SE ASIA

5. Education for the general public and geoparks

               6. Exploration, mining and industrial uses of carbonate rocks
