She teaches most of the environmental-related subjects at postgraduate as well as undergraduate level under the Environment Cluster of the faculty. Her specialisation is in the field of sustainable waste recycling/management and wastewater treatment.

Prof. Aeslina has published more than 150 publications including proceedings, journals, books and modules as the main author and co-author. To date, she has secured and led almost RM 2 million worth of grants as a principal researcher (FRGS, PRGS, PRGS 2.0, PPRN, KTP, Industry Grant, UCTC, The Sumitomo Foundation, MTUN, MRUN-MTUN-MCUN, MDR, GPP, ICI, IGSP) and more than RM 300 thousand worth of consultation at national and international level. Notably, she and her research team have also won up to 50 medals during innovative product competitions which led them to obtain approved patents, industrial design and copyrights. She is also active as keynote speaker and invited speaker in more than 40 international conferences, forums and seminars. 

The most common masonry unit for construction materials is brick and concrete. Due to the demand, different types of waste have been investigated to be incorporated into building materials for example industrial waste, agricultural waste, sewage sludge, fly ash, bottom ash and other waste. The incorporation of these wastes in building materials usually has a beneficial effect such as lightweight building materials with improvise shrinkage, porosity and strength, yet the potential of heavy metals being leached from waste utilization is often neglected. Unfortunately, most of the waste materials are evidently contaminated with heavy metals. Therefore, the environmental concern on the impact of building materials incorporated with waste should be observed cautiously. The analytical leaching testing procedure could be conducted in order to investigate on the potential release of heavy metals from building materials. Furthermore, to move towards developing sustainable building materials by recycling waste, emphasizing on environmentally friendly methods that could immobilize and encapsulate heavy metals that significantly pose a very high risk to the environment through leaching should be accentuated.

Dr. Roslan earned his PhD from Universiti Malaya(UM), Malaysia in the field of Physics. He was nominated as member of International Astronomical Union (IAU) and 21 Malaysia Astronomer. His interest in exploring the universe began from his bachelor degree internship program, when he was attached to the Malaysia National Planetarium. After he finished his MSc, Dr. Roslan began his academic career at Universiti Sultan Zainal Abidin(UniSZA) and was appointed as Head of Astronomy Unit at KUSZA Observatory. He currently holds a Director of East Coast Environmental Research Institute (ESERI).  He was a research fellow at East Coast Environmental Research Institute (ESERI) since 2014. Dr. Roslan research interest is in the field of  light pollution, spectrum pollution, radio frequency interference for radio astronomy, space earth electromagnetism, space weather (earthquake ). Associate Prof. Roslan has published more than 110 publications including proceedings, journals, books and modules as the main author and co-author. To date, he has secured and led almost RM 1 million worth of grants as a principal researcher (FRGS, RACE, SOTL, Industry Grant) and consultation program at national level. Notably, he and her research team have also won up to 74 medals during innovative product competitions in national and international level such as UniCel, IUCEL, MPI, ITEX, IPITEX, SIFF, MTE and PECIPTA  which led them to obtain approved trade mark and copyrights. He is also active as keynote speaker and invited speaker in more than 20 international conferences, forums and seminars.

The growing concern for environmental sustainability has permeated various scientific disciplines, urging researchers to adopt eco-friendly practices in their investigations. In the realm of seismology, understanding the complexities of earthquake occurrences and their potential implications on the environment demands data-driven research. Among the diverse data sources, magnetic field data has emerged as a valuable resource for earthquake investigations due to its sensitivity to geological and tectonic processes. However, the sustainability of acquiring and utilizing magnetic field data remains an essential aspect that requires thoughtful consideration.

This paper explores the significance of sustainability in the context of magnetic field data usage for earthquake investigations. The study examines various approaches to collecting and processing magnetic field data while emphasizing environmentally responsible methodologies. Furthermore, it delves into the challenges and opportunities that arise in integrating sustainable practices in seismological research.

In the pursuit of comprehensive and ecologically aware earthquake investigations, the paper discusses the potential impact of human activities, technological advancements, and their influence on magnetic field data accuracy and reliability. By analyzing the interplay between sustainable practices and earthquake research, the paper highlights the potential benefits of adopting greener alternatives in data collection, analysis, and interpretation.

The findings and discussions presented in this paper aim to encourage researchers, seismologists, and stakeholders to embrace sustainable approaches in utilizing magnetic field data for earthquake investigations. As society strives to mitigate environmental impact and build resilience against seismic events, the adoption of sustainable practices becomes paramount in safeguarding our planet's well-being for future generations.
