African Geoscientists

Welcome everyone! This account was created to support and promote marginalised African Geoscientists. Here we can talk abt our work, research interest, studies, achievements, publications, job hunting,graduate applications, connect& collaborate with other African Geoscientists!

Most scientists from the Global South are not able to afford Open Access (OA). An OA article can equal 3 or 4 of our monthly salaries or the full yearly amount of one of our grants. This discriminatory situation creates a double-standard in science dissemination.

📢Calling all geoscientists doing research. @GeoCoLab wants to build an online collaborative platform that would link underserved researchers with analytical facilities who have agreed to offer a quota of pro bono services. Please complete their survey: docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAI…

@TheDroneLady @AFRICANGeosci @BritGeoSurvey It's not an excuse, it's a real issue! There has been some great work with the Kenyan Geological Survey recently, and also the Ghana Geological Survey Authority. Unfortunately the aid budget cuts severely affect this work.

Sustainable Development of Natural Resources in Nigeria. Let's partner: We will deploy latest technologies like Drone and Artificial Intelligence in mapping & interpreting accurately the potential source of these natural resources 1/2

Last few days to sign up to be one of our Young Ambassadors for THE EARTH PROJECT theearthproject.world/young-ambassad…

A wonderful primate fossils come out from #Fayum, #Egypt -- (30 million year old) #Sallam_Lab #MUVP

A fantastic opportunity to be an ambassador for the Earth....

Because "The studies done by visiting scientists are seen as world class, and what we are doing is seen as local,” Green said. “It’s not acceptable; we’re just as capable or even more, given our scarce resources.”

A lovely animated film on ‘GEOLOGY For Sustainable Development’, African style, from @KombadaM, Josephine and Halleluya youtu.be/D-I7nnSiFIg - a great Namibian geo-celebration for #InternationalDayOfWomenInScience
