Mapping in Africa and beyond

摘要

Since 1994, a new dawn in African mapping has been emerging for the Council for Geoscience with a steady stream of geologists giving papers at international conferences and attending meetings and workshops in many African countries where friendships and research collaborations have been established, many of which continue to this day. At the same time as the geologists have been making these links, the efforts of Nok Frick to win commercial geological mapping projects in African countries, sometimes funded by the countries themselves or by agencies such as the World Bank, have been bearing fruit.
