Introduction to the special issue 'Geology, evolution and resources of SE Asia' to commemorate the life and work of Professor Charles Hutchison

摘要

Charles Hutchison died in October 2011 after a long involvement in SE Asian geology and a very active retirement in which he continued research. To commemorate his many contributions to our knowledge of SE Asian geology the guest editors of this special issue convened a one-day session at the American Association of Petroleum Geologists (AAPG) 2012 International Conference & Exhibition held in Singapore in September 2012. Many of the papers in this special issue were presented there. In addition, we invited other scientists who worked in SE Asia who knew Charles or who had worked in areas in which Charles was interested to contribute to this special issue. The papers here result from these two sources.
