A literature database with references pertaining to the geology of
the Indonesian region. Currently, there about 21,740 entries in this
database, many of them complete with abstracts. This database
also includes references to all IPA publications from 1972 until 2021.
This was the last update. The maintenance of my database will
be discontinued in 2022. Of course, you can edit and add to this
citation program, after download.
This literature database draws upon the Bibliography of Indonesia Geology
which can be found at www.vangorselslist.com. Some of the comments in the
database and a number of references were imported from the VanGorselList.

About Birds, Sex – and why Failure is good for Business and Petroleum
Exploration.- In this text, we will explain how biological systems and
businesses are similar in the way they behave and evolve. We will then argue
that a good measure of fuzziness, serendipity, uncertainty is beneficial for
biological evolution and business. We will then discuss why serendipity
(explained below) is an integral part of evolution. We will try to demonstrate
that the same rules that make biological evolution successful apply to
business, too. Mathematical concepts and their limitations will be discussed
briefly. A short example of how this applies for petroleum exploration has been
added.
