Description / Table of Contents: SE Asia is probably the finest natural geological laboratory in the world, yet is still not geologically well known. It is a spectacular region in which the manifestations and processes of plate collision can be observed at present and in which their history is recorded. It is a region that must be understood if we are to understand mountain belts, arc development marginal basin evolution and, more generally, the behaviour of the lithosphere in collision settings. Furthermore, the region is developing rapidly on the economic front, and a major part of this rapid development is built on natural resources. The geological reasons for the distribution of these resources are therefore of major importance for the inhabitants of the region and for any attempts to discover and exploit them. The volume will be of interest to all geologists working in SE Asia, particularly those involved in the petroleum industry.

Description / Table of Contents: A study has been made of the remanent magnetism of more than 400 samples collected from 104 localities in Graham Land and several of the nearby islands. The directions of the remanent magnetism of these samples have been measured and analysed in the standard manner. The stability of the magnetism has been investigated by tests involving the storage of specimens and their partial demagnetization in alternating magnetic fields. The study was restricted to the investigation of igneous rocks as the few sediments available for collection were found to be too weakly magnetic to be measurable. The magnetism of Tertiary and Recent lavas, collected from 12 localities, and of Andean intrusive rocks (late Cretaceous to early Tertiary age) from another 12 localities, is aligned on average along the axial gecentric dipole field direction, but both normally and reversely magnetized rocks have been found. The stability and the dispersion of magnetic directions indicate the remanent magnetism was probably acquired when the rocks were first formed. The magnetism of the Upper Jurassic Volcanic Group and the older intrusives (?Lover Palaeozoic) has been found to be either unstable or widely scattered in direction. It is suspected that the intrusion of the Andean suite so affected all the pre-existing rocks as to destroy their original magnetism. From these results it is possible to infer the condition of the Earth's past magnetic field only in connection with the Andean and younger rocks. This is that the Earth's magnetic field in the region of Graham Land has been, on average, in the same direction as the axial geocentric dipole field, or its exact reverse, since the intrusion of the Andean suite. Unfortunately there is no information from pre-Andean rocks in this area that can be used for comparison with the interesting results obtained elsewhere in Antarctica.
