Tropical Africa is home to an astonishing biodiversity occurring in a variety of ecosystems.
Past climatic change and geological events have impacted the evolution and diversification …

There are two types of emerged relief on the Earth: high elevation areas (mountain belts and
rift shoulders) in active tectonic settings and low elevation domains (anorogenic plateaus …

The geological evolution of northwestern Africa and its continental margins is investigated in
the light of nine Meso-Cenozoic paleogeological maps, which integrate original minimal …

This paper is a contribution to the understanding of surface dynamics of tropical shields over
geological timescales. Emphasis is put on the fundamental and applied implications of …

The tropical cratonic geosystem encompasses non-orogenic continental domains of the
tropical belt that developed and preserved Cenozoic lateritic regolith mantles (ie, the …

Paleogeographic maps are essential tools for understanding Earth system dynamics. They
provide boundary conditions for climate and geodynamic modelling, for analysing surface …

The global demand for mineral resources has dramatically increased in the last 50 years.
The challenge to keep pace with this demand is the driving force for innovation, and also …

We have studied the regolith landform distribution in the area of Gaoua, western Burkina
Faso, using an integration of geophysical and remote sensing data. Concentration maps of …

This study focuses on the dating of millimetric pisoliths from ferruginous duricrusts located in
central Amazonia (Brazil), by coupling detailed mineralogy and two relevant dating …

The southeastern part of the Democratic Republic of the Congo locally hosts Proterozoic
manganese deposits. The deposits of Kisenge-Kamata are the most significant, but …
