Indonesian Geological Survey

The Indonesian Geological Survey (IGS) is a government institution responsible for studying Indonesia’s geology, including its rocks, minerals, and natural resources. Its main goal is to provide accurate geological information to support sustainable development, natural resource management, and disaster mitigation. IGS conducts surveys, mapping, and research to understand the country's complex geological structure, which is crucial given Indonesia’s volcanoes, earthquakes, and rich mineral deposits. This information helps the government and industries make informed decisions about resource exploration, land use, and disaster preparedness, ultimately contributing to the nation’s safety and economic growth.
