Since its establishment in 1967, the Geological Society of Malaysia has been a major contributor to the advancement of knowledge in the geosciences at the national and regional levels.

Bulletin 56 is a collection of 18 papers based on basic, applied and policy research on geoscience. Ten papers were presented at the National Conference on Geological Heritage of Malaysia on 14-16 October 2009, held at PERSADA Convention Centre, Johor Bahru. Two papers were presented at Petroleum Geology Conference & Exhibition 2008 held at Kuala Lumpur Convention Centre. One was presented at National Geoscience Conference 2007, held at Universiti Malaysia Sabah and two at the National Geoscience Conference 2008, held at Impiana Casuarina Hotel Ipoh. Three manuscripts were contributed by members of the Society.

The Society gratefully acknowledges all the authors for their contributions, the reviewers for making time to improve the contributions and the organising committee of the conferences for facilitating publication of the papers.
