NBOSS: northern Borneo Seismic Survey
The northern Borneo Orogeny Seismic Survey (nBOSS) project is a collaboration between researchers at the University of Cambridge, the University of Aberdeen, Universiti Malaysia Sabah, and the Malaysia Meteorological Department (MetMalaysia). The project aims to use seismology to understand the deep geology and tectonics of northern Borneo, which lies at the heart of southeast Asia, one of the most tectonically active regions in the world. Our field area, Sabah (Borneo’s most northern state), is located far from current plate boundaries, yet contains unique landforms that are testament to a recent history of pronounced deformation, e.g., elevated circular basins and the 4095 m high Mt Kinabalu.
