Calling all researchers working in Africa

The  African Association of Women in Geosciences and the African Geoparks Network (AGN) are creating a common task group in order to promote the african geology. So, these organisations are calling all geoscientists  who are working on the African continent to send nice photos of geological sites of scientific and/or educative interest or just with a scenic beauty with a short description that will be published on the AGN  website http://www.africangeoparksnetwork.org/ as well as on its related facebook page. This action will help to create a data base related to the geological heritage of the African continent and will allow to promote the geology of the continent. Please don't forget to mention your full name, your address and email.

So, please send us your photos on the following email address: contact@aawg.org 
Thank you very much for collaboration.
