Subject(s):

Applied sciences | Namibian geology; Geochronology; Geophysics; Lithology; Stratigraphy

DDC classification:

NAM 551.7 MIL

Summary: Namibia's complex geology, so exposed in a desert environment, has been the subject of scientific debate and research for over a century. The bibliography of Namibian Earth Science runs to three volumes. The detail in the stratigraphic and lithological descriptions in these volumes has been specifically given to assist the field geologist. Furthermore, facies changes, geochronology, structure, metamorphism and geochemistry are elucidated to assist in developing basinal and tectonic evolutionary models. A good understanding of the geology is critical to effective groundwater exploration, to the optimal use of all geological resources, to civil engineering and construction projects, to the environment and to waste disposal. It has an application in agriculture and is the foundation for soil science
