Interpretation of tectonic elements for the Indonesian region, after Garwin et al. (2005). Tectonic
elements and lineaments are interpreted from digital topography models, satellite gravity and bathymetry,
and Radarsat (ERS) data described by Garwin (2000), and reflect compilation and modification of the
results of Hamilton (1979), McCaffrey (1988 and 1996), Hutchison (1989), Garwin (1996), Hall (1996),
Simandjuntuk and Barber (1996), and Snyder et al. (1996). The magmatic arcs and orogenic belts are
modified from Hamilton (1979), Hutchison (1989), Carlile and Mitchell (1994), and Garwin (1996, 2000).

Major gold and copper districts, deposits and prospects of the Indonesian region (after Garwin, 2000). The magmatic
arcs and orogenic belts are modified from Hamilton (1979), Hutchison (1989), Carlile and Mitchell (1994) and Garwin
(1996). The tectonic features and lineaments are interpreted from the digital elevation model, AVHRR, satellite gravity,
bathymetry and Radarsat (ERS) databases and reflect the results of previous authors, such as Hamilton (1979),
McCaffrey (1988, 1996), Hutchison (1989), Pulunggono (1993), Garwin (1996), Hall (1996), Simandjuntuk and Barber
(1996) and Snyder et al. (1996).
