Geology and Sedimentology of Transect I – East Face, Central Gunung Semanggol, Bukit Merah, Perak

Gunung Semanggol is part of the Semanggol Formation that extends from north and south Kedah. There is less publication on the general geology of Gunung Semanggol compare to the Semanggol Formation in Kedah, despite the named “Semanggol” are taken from the mountain range. This project will focus on t...
