The latest session of the PanAfGeo project, titled “Modélisation géologique 3D multicouche par approche géostatistique,” was successfully inaugurated in Dakar, Senegal. The ceremony was graced by esteemed guests and marks the beginning of a comprehensive 10-day training program scheduled from July 1st to July 12th, 2024.
The session is hosted by the Service Géologique National du Sénégal (SGNS) and has attracted 16 dedicated trainees, including 12 men and 4 women, from nine French-speaking African countries: Benin, Burkina Faso, Burundi, Cameroon, the Democratic Republic of Congo, Guinea, Niger, and Senegal. This diverse group is set to engage in intensive training and knowledge exchange on advanced 3D geological modeling using geostatistical approaches.
The main table was graced by prominent figures in the field:
- Dr. Nicolas CLAUSOLLES, Specialist in 3D Geological Modeling from BRGM-Service Géologique National de la France.
- Dr. Rokhaya SAMBA DIENE, Director General of SGNS-Service Géologique National du Sénégal.
- Mr. Simon VANDEN BROEKE, Team Leader for Connectivity and Sustainable Investment from the Delegation of the European Union to Senegal.
Over the course of the next ten days, trainees will delve into the complexities of 3D geological modeling. The training will provide them with cutting-edge techniques and tools essential for their professional development. Additionally, each trainee will develop a “Return-to-Work Project” aimed at implementing their newfound skills and knowledge within their respective Geological Survey Organisations over the next six months.
