The government of Tanzania will host a meeting, April 6-10, at Arusha, Tanzania, to discuss the initial results of the $4-million African Magnetic Mapping Project. About 800 surveys, mostly airborne, conducted since 1949 have been catalogued for the first time covering 80% of Africa.
The talks will address the application of airborne geophysics to mineral, petroleum and groundwater exploration as well as environmental management problems in Africa.
The organizers bill the conference as “a springboard from which new exploration undertakings in Africa may grow.”
