In archaeology we usually find the 'culture' first ⊠Then, after we find out the artefact's age we'll seek out historical references to any civilisation which existed around that period. Only then will we be able to explain the artefact historically. In this case, they 'found' something, carbon-dated

Natawidjaja became the initiator and coordinator of earthquake research at LIPI in 2002. With grants, he pioneered and developed a continuous network of SuGAr GPS stations since 2002 to monitor tectonic movements in
Sumatra in collaboration with Caltech USA and the Earth Observatory of Singapore.

He initiated and developed a
Postgraduate program in Earthquake Studies at ITB known as the Graduate Research in Earthquake and Active Tectonics (GREAT) Program which was funded by the Australian-Indonesia Facility for Earthquake Disaster Reduction (AIFDR) bilateral program 2010â2017.

He became Chair of the
Geology Working Group of the National Earthquake Study Center (PuSGeN) since 2016 to revise the Seismic Hazard Map of Indonesia which was then published by the Ministry of PUPR in 2017 and referred to by SNI 1726â2019 to replace the previous SNI.
