Prof. Dr. Phang Siew Moi is Honorary Professor at the Institute of Ocean & Earth Sciences, University of Malaya. She had served as president of the Asian-Pacific Society of Applied Phycology, Asian-Pacific Phycological Association; member of the International Phycological Society Board of Directors; and Overseas Vice-President of the British Phycological Society.  She is a Fellow of the Academy of Sciences Malaysia (ASM), and Fellow of the Marine Biological Association, UK. Her involvement in Biogeosciences research is focussed on the production of volatile halogenated compounds of marine biogenic origins, and their contribution to the global halocarbon budget.  Her achievements include 246 papers in international journals, patents and research awards like the Newton Prize 2017, British High Commission.  Prof. Phang is Associate Editor of the Journal of Applied Phycology. Prof. Dr. Phang Siew Moi is Honorary Professor at the Institute of Ocean & Earth Sciences, University of Malaya.

Paul Alexandre studied geology at the Université de Lyon, France, before obtaining a PhD at the Université de Lorraine in Nancy, France, in geochronology and thermochronology applied to tectonic evolution. Between 2000 and 2015, he worked at Queen’s University, Canada, teaching geochemistry and conducting research in geochronology, economic geology, and mineralogy. Since 2016, he is professor at Brandon University, Canada, teaching a variety of courses and conducting research in economic geology and mineralogy. Paul is an accomplished educator and researcher, with numerous peer-reviewed papers, conference presentations, and a textbook to his credit. He is guest editor and associate editor of several publications and a councilor of the Geological Association of Canada.

Dr. Muhittin GORMUS has MSc degree from the Selcuk University in 1986 and PhD degree from the Hull University supervised by Dr. Martin Brasier in United Kingdom in 1990. He worked in the Akdeniz and Suleyman Demirel Universities from 1991 to 2012, and has been working in the Ankara University since 2012 as a teaching staff-member and researcher. He has organised national and international symposiums, workshops, i.e. 4th EMMM, 15. and 16. PCG, and edited an electronic journal SDUGEO between 2009 and 2012 when he was the head of geological department in SDU.

Research interests: He is a general geologist, micropaleontologists, stratigrapher and specialist on late Cretaceous benthic foraminifera and microborings. He has research articles and presentations over one hundred and translated the Sedimantology book by Boggs into Turkish and edited some proceedings of national and international symposiums. He has carried out his studies in various localities of Turkey and Iraq.

Work Experience:

Professor Natalia A. Kasyanova obtained her Postgraduate program (doctoral degree) Ph.D (Geology) from the Moscow State Lomonosov University (1995). She develops the new scientific direction - “Present-day geodynamics and it influence of the crust deformation and fluid migration processes”. Her area of scientific interests is “Forecasting, search and prospecting oil and gas deposits”, “Present-day natural and technogenic geodynamic risks: forecast, assessment, management”, “Geodynamic ensuring of environmental and industrial safety” (for oil-and-gas, coal, atomic-chemical, building industries). She currently lectures “Forecasting and search of mineral deposits” at the Sergo Ordzhonikidze Russian State University Geological Prospecting. She published over 200 papers.
