The Geology of the Netherlands East Indies is an authoritative scientific survey detailing the geological structure and tectonic evolution of the Indonesian archipelago. Written by the renowned Dutch geologist H. Albert Brouwer, this work provides an in-depth analysis of one of the most geologically complex and active regions on Earth. The book examines the intricate relationship between the deep-sea basins and the rising mountain chains, offering critical insights into the processes of orogeny and volcanic activity that characterize the Ring of Fire.

Brouwer's study covers a wide range of topics, including regional stratigraphy, the distribution of igneous and sedimentary rocks, and the tectonic forces that have shaped the islands over millions of years. This work is significant for its early 20th-century observations on the structural geology of Southeast Asia, serving as a foundational text for understanding the region's mineral wealth and seismic history. It remains a valuable resource for researchers and students interested in the historical development of geological science and the physical history of the Malay Archipelago. The text is supported by rigorous observations and synthesizes the scientific understanding of the era regarding the formation of the Dutch East Indies.
