We presented a poster and disseminated our project with leaders in Geosciences from Uganda, Nigeria, Ethiopia, Botswana, Senegal, Mozambique, Namibia, Kenya, Angola, Ghana, and South Africa. We were honored to attend interesting talks about a wide range of topics, from the challenges of Geoscience research in Africa to the geothermal development in Kenya.
