The conference is aimed at updating geologists, geotechnologists and engineers on the recent development in geology, engineering geology, and other related fields within the Indochina region. The conference will provide a broad platform for participants to express new ideas, achievements and experiences through technical presentation and discussions. The pre-conference excursion will introduce you to a wonderful Khon Kaen Geopark with well-known dinosaur fossils sites and more. The post-conference excursion will give a comprehensive view of the geology, geotechnical engineering and mineral resources of the Indochina region. The conference experience would be valuable for technical and academic aspects as well as bridging the opportunities for future collaboration.

Your manuscript must be prepared strictly according to APST author instructions. Failure to follow the instructions, will result in the rejection of your manuscript without review.

Your manuscript must be prepared strictly according to APST author instructions. Failure to follow the instructions, will result in the rejection of your manuscript without review.

The digital format will present the submitted work in diverse forms (Abstract, Extended abstract, or Full Article) as requested by the author. However, the hardcopy print will present only the abstracts.
Editorial of your manuscripts (for proceedings)
All items that are published in the proceedings will not be peer-reviewed. It will only be edited for typing mistakes, severe grammatical errors that affect comprehension of the work, and formatting. Our editorial board will be responsible for this task. After submitting your manuscript (abstract, extended abstract, or full article), you will be contacted by our editors only if we need clarification in case grammatical errors prevent us from understanding your work.
