ANNUAL SCIENTIFIC
MEETING 2020

On behalf of the organizing committee, it gives me great pleasure in welcoming you to the 45^th Scientific Annual Meeting of Indonesian Association of Geophysicists (PIT HAGI 2020) which is to be held online on 17^th – 20^th of October 2020. PIT HAGI 2020 was dedicated to the theme “Continuous Effort in Rendering New Solution and Catalyzing Innovation”.

We commit to hold the conference annually and in normal condition we would have been able to meet in Surabaya as per original plan. In order to curb the spread of COVID-19, we swiftly changed our format into virtual conference. PIT HAGI 2020 still provides a flexible platform for researchers, academia as well as industry professionals to present their research results and technology development or activities in geoscience, applied geoscience and engineering.

The success of this conference is supported by 90+ presenters consisting of 50+ oral presenters and 40+ poster presenters. The topics of interest for the conference include but not limited to: seismology, seismic exploration, non-seismic exploration, rock physics, near surface geophysics, geohazards, big data and algorithm for geophysics, and other related topics. The conference was also divided into 22+ total session in 4 days. All of these presentations were conducted by utilizing state-of-the-art online meeting application.

We would like to express our gratitude to keynote speakers, invited speakers, presenters, participants, organizing committee, steering committee and advisory board, reviewers, and sponsors for supporting the conference.

May the participant could enjoy and gain some valuable knowledge from the technical program. And last but not least, the PIT HAGI 2020 committee send their heartfelt support to all those affected in one way or another by COVID-19.
