Geological Society of Africa (GSAf) — Société Géologique d’Afrique

The Geological Society of Africa (GSAf) was established in 1973 to encourage geoscientific collaboration and cooperation across the continent. Its main objectives are:

• to promote understanding of the earth sciences and improve standards of earth science education and research in Africa;
• to provide a forum for discussion and dissemination of information across national boundaries between scientists, associations and institutions engaged in African geology and earth resources;
• to promote the development and sustainable management of the continent's earth resources, to advance its socio-economic development; and
• to improve natural hazards assessment and disaster mitigation.
