6-8 December 2005: Third International Symposium on Southeast Asian Water Environment
The University of Tokyo (UT) and the Asian Institute of Technology (AIT), in
cooperation with Southeast Asian Center on Water Environment Technology
(SACWET), a joint center of UT and AIT, will hold the Third International Symposium on Southeast Asian Water Environment, at the AIT Conference Centre, on 6-8 December 2005.
The purpose of this Symposium is to provide a forum for discussion and exchange among researchers/practitioners in Environmental Technology and Management and related areas from the Asian Region and to promote interaction among researchers from Asia-Pacific countries, Japan and other parts of the world. We do hope that, through the Symposium, a strong network or partnership with active local change agents will be
established, and our colleagues in Southeast Asia will learn more from the experts of other countries to protect the environment of the region. To do so, we are relying on the expertise and research level of the Southeast Asian community to take part in this challenge.
In this symposium, the following specific subjects are selected as the platform topics.
Water Environment Conservation in Southeast Asia. Groundwater issues. Pathogenic contamination and health-related microbiology. Other topics related to water environment are also welcome as poster presentation. Participation from NGO/NPO is also welcome.
Papers for oral presentations should be submitted by October 6, 2005. Papers for poster presentations should be submitted by October 31 2005.

6 October 2005: Modern Land 3D Reflection Seismic Survey and Earthquakes Captured in 3D Seismic Shot Records will be conducted by
Mr. Yasutomo Fujii, Exploration Manager, Sim Moeco Ltd.at 8:30 a.m. in room N240
Abstract
Siam Moeco Ltd., the petroleum exploration operator company of block L10/43 and L11/43 in Phitsanulok basin in Thailand, conducted new 2D and 3D seismic survey from December 2004 to January 2005. The most up-to date equipment and technologies were used in the 3D survey. The modern land 3D seismic survey technologies are the main topic in this presentation. In addition, as an unique experience of a 3D seismic survey, the seismic records of aftershocks following the 26 December 2004 earthquake will be presented and analyzed. It happened that, during our 3D seismic survey, the great Sumatra-Andaman Earthquake of 26 December 2004 occurred. On the day, about 80 aftershocks (M>5.0) took place during our survey in the Sumatra-Andaman Sea and seven records of our total 234 shots were affected by earthquakes. It was very unique experience for us to have the affected shot records. Widely spread 1,344 channel geophones were used in the 3D survey, therefore, an apparent velocity and incident azimuth can be calculated for earthquake waves. In the event at 09:38, it has apparent velocity of 7.9 km/s and incident azimuth of 41 degrees clockwise from the north. Those
suggest that the wave definitely propagated from one of the aftershocks.
