Geological Atlas of Africa

This is the first attempt to summarise
the geology of Africa by presenting it in an atlas and to synthesise
the stratigraphy, tectonics, economic geology, geohazards, geosites and
geoscientific education of each country and territory of the continent.
Furthermore, the digitised geological maps (on the attached CD-ROM) are
correlated and harmonised according to the current stratigraphic time
table. The atlas aims to contribute to capacity building in African
Earth Sciences and to initiate research and economic opportunities by
providing a database of basic geological background information.
